Diagnosis.
Ocellocular area, clypeus, scutum, metapostnotum and terga shiny with open to sparse punctures, post-gradular areas depressed, female BTP rounded, inner hind tibial spur ciliate, male S7 ventral apical lobes with long branched setae.
Description.
Female holotype: body length: 5.9 mm; head width: 1.9 mm. Relative head measurements: HW 50, ASD 2.6, AOD 7.9, HL 38, IAD 9.4, LFW 28, OAD 16, OOD 8.4, OW 17, UFW 32, HW/HL 1.3, LFW/UFW 0.9. Relative wing measurements: MSR 1.52, FSR 1.08, SFR 0.93.
Structure: terga anteriorly strongly depressed; BTP rounded; BTP/tibial length ratio 0.18; inner hind tibial spur ciliate with 5-10 slender teeth.
Sculpture: scutum smooth with sparse punctures; metapostnotum smooth, shiny, shallow pit-reticulate; T1 lineo-reticulate, T2-3 transverse lineo-reticulate; clypeus smooth with open to sparse punctures; supraclypeal area smooth, sparsely punctate; ocellocular area smooth, shiny, sparsely punctate; frons smooth openly punctate; vertex roughened with punctures.
Coloration
: terga anteriorly brown-black, posterior margins transparent orange; scopa light brown; labrum brown; mandibles brown with darker tip; flagellum F9-11 orange/brown below.
Pubescence: scutum: dispersed, medium length, branched; scutellum: long, sparse, light brown; metanotum: medium length, branched, dense on posterior margin; sterna 1-4 with fringes of long simple hairs, S5 with fringe of dense branched white hairs; scape smooth, few punctures and a few short hairs.
Description.
Male allotype: body length: 4.2 mm; head width: 1.52 mm. Relative head measurements: HW 50, ASD 3.4, AOD 6.6, HL 38, IAD 10.3, LFW 26, OAD 16, OOD 8.9, OW 18, UFW 33, HW/HL 1.3, LFW/UFW 0.8. Relative wing measurements: MSR 1.61, FSR 1.00, SFR 1.00.
Structure: terga anteriorly strongly depressed; BTP rounded, slightly elongated. S7: dorsal apical lobe absent, ventral apical lobe medium large, branched setae present on entire ventral apical lobe.
Sculpture: scutum smooth, sparsely punctate; metapostnotum smooth with shallow microsculpture; T1 lineo-reticulate, T2-3 transverse lineo-reticulate; clypeus smooth, openly to closely punctate, ventral margin width about 1/3 ocellar diameter; supraclypeal area smooth with open to sparse punctures; ocellocular area smooth, almost no punctures; frons smooth openly to closely punctate; scape minutely roughened.
Coloration: terga anteriorly brown, posterior margins transparent orange; labrum black; mandibles brown with red-brown tip; flagellum brown, lighter towards the tip; scape black.
Pubescence: scutum: long sparse whitish; scutellum: long sparse whitish; metanotum medium length branched dense on posterior margin.
