Female. Metatibia color (outer face): entirely or mostly (>0.7 metatibia length) dark brown to black, with yellow to white coloration usually restricted to anterior 0.2 or less. Fore wing veins color: veins C+Sc+R and R1 with brown coloration restricted narrowly to borders, interior area of those veins and pterostigma (and sometimes veins r, 2RS and 2M) transparent or white; other veins mostly transparent. Antenna length/body length: antenna about as long as body (head to apex of metasoma); if slightly shorter, at least extending beyond anterior 0.7 metasoma length. Body length (head to apex of metasoma): 2.0 mm or less or 2.1-2.2 mm. Fore wing length: 2.1-2.2 mm or 2.3-2.4 mm. Metafemur length/width: 2.6-2.7 or 2.8-2.9.
