Scale bars: 1 mm ( A, J ); 0.5 mm ( E, K, I ); 0.25 mm ( C, D, F-H, L ). Description. Female. Fore wing length 3.2 mm. Head . Width of head (dorsal view) 1.8 x its median length. Transverse diameter of eye (dorsal view) 1.9 x longer than temple. OOL 2.7 x Od; POL 1.4 x Od; OOL 2.0 x POL. Longitudinal diameter of eye (lateral view) 1.4 x its transverse diameter. Face medially convex, but not incorporating clypeus, with complete, high medio-longitudinal carina, 1.4 x as wide as high. Longitudinal diameter of eye 3.4 x height of malar space (anterior view). Malar space 0.87 x base of mandible. Malar suture weakly impressed. Width of hypoclypeal depression 1.2 x distance from depression to eye. Antenna with 30 antennomeres, 1.15 x as long as fore wing. First, middle and penultimate flagellomeres 2.7 x , 2.2 x , and 1.3 x as long as wide, respectively. Mesosoma 1.3 x as long as high. Mesoscutum setose only on notaulic area. Propodeum with branching medio-longitudinal keel in apical two thirds and with deep crenulate medio-longitudinal impression basally. Wings . Vein r arising from basal 0.4 x of pterostigma. Vein 1-R1 1.8 x as long as pterostigma. Marginal cell ca. 30 x as long as distance from its apex to apex of wing. Vein 3-SR 2.7 x vein r, 0.53 x vein SR1, 1.7 x vein 2-SR. Vein 2-SR+M 0.65 x vein 2-SR, 1.4 x vein m-cu. Vein cu-a postfurcal. Legs . Hind femur 4.6 x longer than wide. Fifth segment of hind tarsus 0.8 x as long as second segment, 0.4 x as long as hind basitarsus. Claws with shortly protruding and blunt basal lobes. Metasoma . Median length of T1 0.65 x its apical width; margin of its median area crenulate. T1 with complete dorsal carinae and without sublateral posteriorly converging carinae; dorsolateral carinae of T1 developed. T2 medially 1.5 x as long as T3; basal width of T2 1.5 x its median length. Anterolateral areas of T2 strongly separated by sharp crenulate margins and roundly converging sublateral carinae; median area of T2 absent. Dorsolateral impressions of T2 absent; spiracle located in middle of T2, on its dorsum. Suture between T2 and T3 deep, weakly curved, and crenulate. Apical margins of T3-T6 with deep weakly crenulate transverse subapical grooves. Ovipositor sheath as long as hind tibia, 0.34 x as long as fore wing. Sculpture and colouration .
