Description
. FEMALE. Length
1.2 mm
.
Entire antenna dark brown. Frons, vertex, mesoscutum and scutellum metallic bluish-green. Coxae dark and metallic, femora and tibiae dark brown, tarsomeres 1–3 yellowish-white, tarsomere 4 dark brown. Wings hyaline. Gastral tergites dark brown, shiny.
Flagellum with 2 small discoid anelli, 2 funiculars and a 3-segmented clava (

). Frons and vertex with strong, raised reticulation; frons with 1 row of setae close to eye margin. Antennal scrobes as narrow grooves. Frontal suture absent. Occipital margin rounded. Eyes bare.
Mesoscutum and scutellum convex. Mesoscutum 0.5X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; midlobe with 1 pair of setae; notauli indistinct. Scutellum 1.1X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; with 1 pair of setae; with a narrow slit between scutellum and axillae. Propodeum with posterolateral part not drawn out into a point; propodeal callus with 7 setae; without a median carina; entire propodeal surface reticulate. Forewing with 1 seta on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; costal cell bare; with 1 row of admarginal setae (i.e. setae close to marginal vein) on ventral surface; speculum large and open below.
Petiole not visible, but presumably small. Gaster circular; gastral tergites smooth.
