Body Length. 4.8 mm <4.7–5.2>. Color. All black except: mandible and parts of all segments of fore- and midlegs reddish or yellowish brown, hind tibia reddish brown basally, laterotergite and sternum of metasomal tergum 1 whitish ( Fig. 28 ) <pale color, reddish or yellowish brown, varies from as in the holotype to completely absent, although laterotergite and sternum of metasomal tergum 1 always whitish>. Forewing mostly weakly infuscate but less so anterobasally and at midlength, or clear basally, infuscate in apical half ( Fig. 29E ). Head. Number of flagellomeres 24 <22–24>. Scape not flared apicoanteriorly and lacking expanded apical surface ( Figs. 3B , 29A, B ). Antennal scrobe flat ( Figs. 3B , 29B ); variable, from mostly transverse-striate, to mostly smooth with punctures. Clypeus mostly smooth with weak punctures ( Fig. 29A ), without median tooth ( Fig. 29A ). Gena mostly smooth with weak punctures ( Fig. 29A ). Face mostly punctate with some weak rugae especially dorsally ( Fig. 29A ). Area between antennal scrobe and inner orbit of eye with protuberance ( Fig. 29A ), or without protuberance. Vertex with weak punctures ( Fig. 28A ). Posterior orbit of eye lacking distinct crenulate margin ( Fig. 29B ). Mesosoma. Middle lobe of scutum entirely smooth with punctures ( Fig. 29C ). Notauli entirely crenulate ( Fig. 29C ). Mesopleuron at least partly smooth with punctures ( Figs. 3F , 28C ). Sternaulus only present at midlength, or absent ( Figs. 3F , 28C ). Discrimen (median longitudinal ventral sulcus between mesopleura) crenulate. Metapleuron mostly rugose, lacking a large smooth lightly punctate area ( Fig. 28C ). Propodeum entirely rugose without smooth area posterolaterally ( Fig. 29C ). Metasoma. Median tergite 1 not distinctly narrowed posteriorly ( Fig. 29D ); partly smooth with punctures especially posteriorly, with weak rugae or microsculpture anteriorly ( Fig. 29D ). Hypopygium less than 1/3 length of metasoma (Figs. 1B, 28B); not extending past apical tergum (Figs. 1B, 28B). Ovipositor barely exserted, much shorter than metasoma (Figs. 1B, 28B). Setae of ovipositor sheath not longer than 2× width of ovipositor sheath (Figs. 1B, 28B). Figure 29.

Antenna slightly sexually dimorphic with the female antennae shorter and tapering slightly more rapidly than those of male. Metasoma ( Fig. 2E ). Diagnosis . Scape not flared apicoanteriorly and lacking expanded apical surface ( Figs. 3B , 29A, B ); discrimen crenulate; mesosoma black ( Fig. 28A, C ). Material Examined.
