Description.
♀

2.8–3.1 mm
. Head reddish, except ocellar region brownish and anterior region of frons yellow-reddish; antenna brown, except antennomeres 1–3 yellow; mesosoma reddish; petiole black; metasoma black, except tergite 1 reddish; legs yellow-reddish, except clubs of femora brown. Head excavated, shiny, smooth, granulate; area in front of anterior ocellus unsculptured; occiput granulate. Palpal formula 2/2, or 3/2, or 4/2. Pronotum dull, granulate, crossed by strong transverse impression. Mesoscutum dull, with some longitudinal striae, without lateral pointed apophyses (
Fig. 174I
). Metanotum flat, transversely striate, as long as mesoscutum, with sides rounded (
Fig. 174I
). Metapectal-propodeal disc dull, without track of median longitudinal furrow; propodeal declivity transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture obsolete. Mesopleuron and metapleuron transversely striate. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 9:2:3:6:10. Enlarged claw (
Fig. 176C
) with one large subapical tooth and one row of five lamellae. Protarsomere 5 (
Fig. 176C
) with two rows of 15–17 lamellae; apex with 5–8 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
♂
(
Fig. 174M
): fully winged; body length
2.5 mm
. Head black, except mandible yellow; antenna brown; me- sosoma black; metasoma brown; legs yellow. Antennomeres in following proportions: 5.5:5.5:12:11:10:10:10:10: 9:13; antennomere 3 more than 4 × as long as broad (4.8). Head dull, setose, granulate; frontal line absent between antennal toruli; occipital carina absent; POL = 8; OL = 4; OOL = 3; greatest breadth of lateral ocelli about as long as OOL. Palpal formula 2/2. Mesoscutum setose, granulate. Notauli complete, posteriorly separated; minimum distance between notauli shorter than greatest breadth of lateral ocelli (2:3). Mesoscutellum and metanotum setose, granulate. Metapectal-propodeal disc dull, with longitudinal median furrow; propodeal declivity reticulate rugose; top of metapectal-propodeal disc with short irregular keels.

Remarks
. The record from
South Africa
(Grahamstown) by
Olmi (1984)
is an error; it is in fact a specimen of
Gonatopus amoenus
Olmi
(see account of this species above). The
♀
from Grahamstown has a track of a median longitudinal furrow on the top of metapectal-propodeal disc, which correctly assigns this specimen to the latter species.
