Sculpture of dorsal pronotal area: rugose. Sculpture of lateral pronotal area: smooth anteriorly, granulate posteriorly. Sculpture of netrion: smooth. Notaulus: percurrent or nearly so. Sculpture of mesoscutum: granulate. Shape of mesoscutellum: semiellipsoidal. Foveolae of scutoscutellar sulcus between notauli: absent. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: granulate.

Color of fore wing: hyaline with infuscate band in the middle. Rs+M: spectral. Setae on R: long, erect, surpassing the margin of the wing. Length of R: distinctly shorter than r-rs. Length of R1: approximately as long as 2.0× length of r-rs.
Color of metasoma in female: yellow with variable pale brown patches; yellow throughout. Color of metasoma in male: variably yellow to pale brown. Horn on T1 in female: absent.

Diagnosis
This species is most similar to Calliscelio suni in color, size and habitus, and it is also similar to small specimens of Calliscelio sfina. It can be separated by the presence of an infuscate band in the middle of the fore wing.
Etymology
The epithet is used as a noun in apposition derived from the Latin word for smallness, in reference to the body size.
