Description.
♀
(
Fig. 237
). Apterous; body length 2.5–3.0 mm. Head black, except mandible, clypeus and malar space (with stripe along orbits) testaceous; antenna brown, except ventral side of antennomere 1 whitish; mesosoma black; metasoma and legs brown. Paratypes with head black, except mandible, clypeus and anterior surface of frons testaceous; mesosoma black, except part of prothorax, part of mesoscutum and metanotum testaceous-brown. Head excavated, dull, granulate; frontal line complete; occipital carina absent; POL = 1.5; OL = 2; OOL = 8. Palpal formu- la 6/3. Pronotum crossed by strong transverse furrow, shiny, slightly granulate (unsculptured in paratypes). Mesos- cutum shiny, with some longitudinal keels, with two lateral pointed apophyses (
Fig. 239D
). Mesoscutellum sloping anteriorly. Metanotum excavated behind mesoscutellum (
Fig. 239E
), not protruding laterally. Metapectal-propodeal disc fusiform, dull, granulate, sculptured by some longitudinal irregular keels, with slight median longitudinal fur- row; propodeal declivity strongly transversely striate. Paratypes with metapectal-propodeal disc shiny, sculptured by longitudinal striae, unsculptured among striae. Mesopleuron slightly granulate, not transversely striate. Meta- pleuron strongly transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture distinct and complete, step shaped. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 12:2.5:4:5:14:22. Enlarged claw (
Figs 235G
,
236A
) with one small subapical tooth and two proximal peg-like setae + 1–2 bristles. Protarsomere 5 (
Figs 235G
,
236A
) with inner side proximally not serrate and two rows of 3–4 (proximal) + 17–18 lamellae; apex with about 15 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
