Description. –
Female: Body length 1.8–2.0 mm (
holotype
1.9 mm
). Forewing length
1.6–1.9 mm
(
holotype
1.75 mm
).
Head metallic black with a bluish tinge, mesosoma and metasoma black; antennal scape light brown; pedicel and funicles dark brown; all coxae black, femora dark brown except anterior margin pale yellow; wing hyaline with brown on veins.
Head in frontal view (
Fig. 1b
) wider than high. Vertex reticulately sculptured, with pairs of long setae on area between posterior ocelli and along the occipital ridge. Eyes with short, sparse, white setae; posterior ocellus closer to anterior ocellus than to eye margin; ratio of distance between posterior ocelli (POL) and ocellocular distance (OOL) 12:10. Scape, at rest, almost reaching level of vertex (
Fig. 1c
); pedicel 0.7 times the length of first funicular flagellomere, the latter slightly thinner and longer than other funicular flagellomeres, about 1.2 times the length of the second (
Figs. 1a,c
). Scrobes finely reticulate, depressed medially; frons and lower face smooth and shiny; clypeus indicated laterally and with a relatively large tentorial pit on each apex of lateral clypeal line (
Fig. 1b
). Malar space about 0.4 times as long as eye height; malar sulcus straight, ending in small fovea at eye margin (
Fig. 1c
).
Mesosoma: Pronotum margined, with a transverse carina; median pronotal disk finely reticulately sculptured with sparse setae and three pairs of long setae arranged on anterior margin. Mesoscutum with notauli reaching anterior margin of scutellum; mesoscutum wth relatively large alveolus and irregularly rugosely sculptured and with three pairs of setae, each seta bearing in the center of the alveolate sculptured; axilla with fine reticulate sculpture, and on anterior median with shallow, triangular pit. Scutellum reticulate posteriorly and slightly roughly reticulate anteriorly; with elongate median depression (
Figs.1d
,
2a
). Propodeum 0.75 times the length of scutellum; with parallel, sub-median carinae; plicae present, reaching anterior margin of propodeal disk; median disk smooth, engraved with reticulation around propodeal spiracles; callus with six setae.
Metasoma (
Fig. 1e
): Petiole length about 3.8 times width, with two elongate carinae sub-laterally and one median carina dorsally. Metasomal gaster short, oval, and first gastral tergite covering at least anterior half of the length of gaster, cerci very short.
Legs and wings: Hind coxa smooth dorsally and finely striated laterally; first tarsomere of hind leg slightly longer than the second. Forewing length 2.4 times as long a wide (
Fig. 1d
); submarginal vein with five dorsal setae; ratio of lengths of submarginal, marginal, stigmal and postmarginal veins 18:39:9:15.
Male: Similar to female, but smaller, body length
1.7 mm
; darker and less metallic; median groove of scutellum shallower; scutellar disk reticulately sculptured; metasomal terga black; metasomal petiole length 5 times the width, slightly broader posteriorly, abdominal gaster triangle-shaped, first tergite covering approximately two-thirds of length of abdomen.

Etymology
.
–
This species is named in honor of Prof. Dr. Umar Anggara Jenie of the chairman of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (= LIPI) for his attention to the natural sciences in
Indonesia

Discussion
.
–
This species is very similar to its sister species
S. rugosus
, but can be distinguished from the latter by the presence of a median depression on the scutellar median disk and black body. This species is known very rare in the field and has mainly been collected from the forest edge.
