Description.
FEMALE (
Holotype
,
Fig. 11
). Body length
1.6 mm
, with yellow and orange reflections. Head green with metallic tinge, vertex without a yellow area surrounding ocelli; eyes red; ocelli dark red; antennae with scape and pedicel yellow, flagellum yellow to brown; mandibles dark brown. Mesosoma green with metallic tinge. Legs yellow except coxae green with metallic tinge like mesosoma and apical tarsomeres infuscate. Metasoma green with metallic tinge as mesosoma, without any yellow parts. Ovipositor sheaths dark with metallic luster under some angles of view, apex of hypopygium with green metallic tinge.

Head (
Fig. 12
) with ocellar triangle, surrounded by distinct grooves. POL 3.2× OOL. Malar space nearly 0.4× as long as height of eye. Scrobal area with a distinct longitudinal median carina. Antennae inserted at level of lower margin of eyes. Malar sulcus distinctly curved. Head 1.3× as wide as high, 1.2× as broad as midlobe of mesoscutum.
Antenna (
Fig. 13
) with scape 2.75× as long as wide, not reaching anterior ocellus; pedicel 1.8×, F1 1.8×, F2 1.2×, F3 1.2×, and clava 2.5× as long as wide, clava with sutures between clavomeres difficult to see; C3 short with rounded apex, without terminal spine.
Mesosoma (
Fig. 14
) 1.4× as long as wide, convex. Pronotum medially very short in dorsal view. Midlobe of mesoscutum as long as wide, with median line shallow but visible, and with a single row of 3 or 4 adnotaular setae on each side (sometimes not symmetrical). Scutellum 1.19× as long as wide, with anterior pair of setae in its posterior half, submedian and sublateral grooves distinct and parallel to each other. Propodeum medially almost as long as dorsellum (0.9×), with median carina distinct and without paraspiracular carina; callus with 5 or 6 setae; with a groove extending from spiracle to posterior margin of propodeum.
Fore wing (
Fig. 15
) hyaline, 1.7× as long as wide; CC 1.8× as long as MV; MV thick, 3.4× as long as wide; MV 1.5× as long as STV, with 7 marginal setae (about 0.5× as long as STV); STV rather thick; PSV not thicker than MV, very short, stub-like, less than 0.5× length of STV. Speculum large, extending from parastigma to stigmal vein. Discal setae short.
Hind
wing rounded apically, 4.3× as long as wide.
Legs. Metafemur 3.8× as long as wide.
Metasoma 0.88× as long as mesosoma, 1.4× as long as wide; hypopygium extending to 0.5× length of metasoma; cercal setae subequal in length; ovipositor sheaths slightly protruding.
Variation. Body length
1.6–2mm
. HW 1.3–1.6× HL. POL 3.2–3.6× OOL. EL 2.1–2.5× MS. ML 1.4–1.7× MW. STL 0.9–1.2× STW. FWL 1.7–1.9× FWW. HWL 4–4.8× HWW. CC 1.6–1.8× MV. MV 1.5–1.9× STV. GL 1.5– 1.8× GW. MFL 3.3–3.8× MFW.
MALE (
Figs 16–20

Etymology.
The species is named after the collection locality of its
holotype
.
Hosts.
Unknown.
Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
D. zadepskyi
.
It differs in the STV being only 0.3× as long as MV plus PSV, the procoxa has the apical 1/5 yellow to brown, and the mesocoxa is green with metallic tinge. In
D. zadepskyi
the STV is 0.16× as long as MV plus PSV, the procoxa has apical 1/4 and the mesocoxa has the apical 2/ 3 yellow.
