Description
Female. Body length 2.7 mm; fore wing 1.8 mm; ovipositor 1.3 mm. Colour: head light brown, antennae light brown, turning honey yellow to apex, palpi yellow; mesosoma and first and basal two thirds of second metasomal tergites dark brown; wings hyaline; veins and stigma light brown; legs light brown to honey yellow; ovipositor and sheaths honey yellow, apex strongly sclerotised and dark. Head: 16 flagellomeres (one antenna broken, with only 11 flagellomeres; eyes ovoid, small and setose; face rugose, median area not swollen; clypeus slightly rugose; malar space 0.4 times eye height; frons and vertex smooth; temple in dorsal view 2.0 times eye width. Mesosoma: 1.7 times longer its maximum height; pronotum rugose-coriaceous laterally; pronotal groove wide and scrobiculate; propleuron slightly rugose; mesoscutal lobes entirely smooth and polished; notauli wide, deep and scrobiculate, meeting before scutellum in a longitudinally costate area; scutellum smooth, with some setae; scutellar sulcus with five carinae; height of scutellar sulcus 0.9 times height of scutellar disc; subalar sulcus wide, deep and scrobiculate, joining mesopleural sulcus, remaining area of mesopleuron smooth, rugose near precoxal sulcus; venter of mesopleuron smooth; propodeum with one pair of long and sharp apico-lateral projections, slightly shorter than first flagellomere. Legs: hind coxa mostly smooth, slightly rugose ventrally. Wings: fore wing length 3.8 times its maximum width, r:3RSa:3RSb = 1:2:4; 2RS:3RSa:r-m = 2:2:1; m-cu arising antefurcal with vein 2RS; 1cu-a slightly postfurcal with 1M; hind wing vein M + CU about equal length of vein 1M. Metasoma: length of first metasomal tergum 1.6 times its apical width, apical width about 2.1 times basal width, first metasomal tergite costate with slightly rugose microsculpture; basal third of second metasomal tergite costate, apical two thirds smooth and polished; remaining metasomal tergites smooth and polished; basal sternal plate (acrosternite) about 0.5 times length of tergum; ovipositor 0.9 times as long as metasoma.
