Description. Female
(
Fig. 1
). Fully winged; length
3.5–4.4 mm
(
holotype
3.5 mm
). Head testaceous, except large brown transverse band on ocellar region, temple and posterior half of face; antenna of
holotype
with first two antennomeres testaceous, other segments missing; antenna of
paratype
MA-02-09B-60 with antennomeres 1–2 testaceous, antennomeres 3–8 brown, 9–10 testaceous-whitish; propleuron brown, except ventral side testaceous; pronotum brown, with testaceous spots on posterior collar and pronotal tubercle; scutum brown, except lateral regions partly testaceous; rest of mesosoma black, except mesopleuron partly testaceous; petiole brown; metasoma brown, except ventral side testaceous; legs yellow-testaceous, except club of profemur darkened. In
paratype
MA- 02-09C-60, mesosoma brown-black, except testaceous spots on propleuron, posterior surface of pronotum, lateral regions of scutum, mesopleuron; metasoma brown; legs totally yellow-testaceous. Antenna of
holotype
with ratio of antennomeres 1–2 about 9:6. Antenna of
paratype
MA-02-09C-60, very slender, filiform; ratio of antennomeres about 9:7:45:35:20:14:9:6:6:10. Head slightly swollen, shiny, unsculptured; frontal line of
holotype
complete (frontal line of
paratype
incomplete, present only in posterior half of face); occipital carina complete;
holotype
with POL = 4; OL = 2; OOL = 6; TL = 5; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli about as long as POL; posterior ocelli touching occipital carina;
paratype
MA-02-09C-60, with POL = 4; OL = 2; OOL = 6; OPL = 0.5; TL = 5; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli about as long as POL. Palpal formula 5/3. Pronotum shiny, punctate, unsculptured among punctures, crossed by two transverse impressions, anterior one very deep and posterior one weak; anterior collar very long; disc very short and humped; posterior collar short; pronotal tubercle reaching tegula. Scutum shiny, with lateral regions unsculptured and median region finely punctate, unsculptured among punctures. Notauli complete (
Fig. 2
), posteriorly separated; minimum distance between notauli shorter than greatest breadth of posterior ocelli (2:4). Scutellum and metanotum almost flat, shiny, unsculptured. Metapectal-propodeal complex dull, with dorsal surface (probably corresponding to “metapostnotum”
sensu
Kawada
et al
. 2015
) granulated, except two median subparallel carinae connecting anterior margin with transverse keel separating dorsal and posterior surface; posterior surface (probably corresponding to “first abdominal tergum”
sensu
Kawada
et al
. 2015
) with two median longitudinal keels, median area shiny and slightly granulated (in
paratype
MA-02-09C-60, with some distal transverse keels), lateral areas with two large shiny and slightly granulated areas. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of stigmal vein longer than proximal part (31:11); marginal cell open (almost closed). Protarsal segments of
holotype
in following proportions: 15:4:6:29:38. Protarsal segments of
paratype
MA-02-09C-
60 in
following proportions: 16:3:7:30:38. Protarsal segment 3 produced into hook. Foreleg with following proportions: 41 (coxa): 41 (trochanter): 45 (femur): 43 (tibia): 31 (enlarged claw). Enlarged claw (
Fig. 3
) without teeth, with one row of 9–11 lamellae + 1–2 distal lamellae. Segment 5 of protarsus (
Fig. 3
) with one row of 7 lamellae in
holotype
(with two rows of 2 (proximal) + 7 lamellae in
paratype
MA-02-09C-60; with two rows of 1 (proximal) + 6 lamellae in
paratype
MA-02-09B-53); distal apex with group of about 8–10 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.

Etymology.
The specific epithet
bicarinatus
is a Latin adjective meaning "with two carinae", indicating the two long longitudinal and subparallel carinae present on the dorsal surface of the metapectal-propodeal complex.
