Female.
Body size: 3.5-4.0 mm. Color: head with vertex dark brown, face and eye orbits honey yellow; scape yellow without lateral brown stripe; flagellum brown; mesosoma dark brown; metasoma dark brown, apical terga lighter brown; wing veins including stigma brown; legs yellow. Head: vertex smooth; frons smooth; face rugose; temple in dorsal view narrow, sloping behind eye, width less than 1/2 eye width; malar space about equal to 1/4 eye height; ocell-ocular distance 1.5 times diameter of lateral ocellus; 29-31 flagellomeres. Mesosoma: mesoscutal lobes granulate; notauli scrobiculate, meeting posteriorly in rectangular rugose area; scutellum smooth; prescutellar furrow with 3-5 cross carinae; mesopleuron weakly granulate, rarely smooth above precoxal sulcus; precoxal sulcus weakly scrobiculate, shorter than mesopleuron; venter weakly granulate or partially smooth; propodeum with basal median areas margined, granulate, basal median carina absent, areola not margined, areolar area areolate-rugose, lateral areas rugose posteriorly, smooth anteriorly. Wings: fore wing vein r slightly shorter or equal to vein 3RSa, vein 1cu-a beyond vein 1M; hind wing vein SC+R present, vein M+CU shorter than vein 1M. Metasoma: first tergum longitudinally costate-rugose, length equal to or slightly greater than apical width; second tergum longitudinally costate-granulate; anterior transverse groove present, straight; posterior transverse groove
present
; third tergum costate basally, smooth apically; terga 4-7 smooth; ovipositor longer than metasoma.

Comments.
The long ovipositor, rugose area where notauli meet on mesoscutum and the large ocelli and short ocell-ocular distance are distinctive for this species.
Etymology.
The specific name is an arbitrary combination of letters.
