Re-description
(male). Body length 2.7 mm.
Colour. Head and mesosoma black (Fig. 2 A, C – G, I View Figure 2 ), metasoma dark brown (Fig. 2 A, H, J View Figure 2 ); antennae brown with last five flagellomeres dark brown (Fig. 2 A, B View Figure 2 ); coxae black, the rest of the legs dark brown (Fig. 2 A View Figure 2 ); fore wing disc infuscated, hind wing disc slightly infuscated; wing venation brown.
Head. Transverse in frontal view with short malar distance (Figs 2 C View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); lateral margin of toruli raised; width of the head equal to width of the mesosoma (Figs 2 A View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); densely pubescence (Fig. 2 C – E View Figure 2 ); eyes large, covered with erect setae (Fig. 2 C – E View Figure 2 ); slightly crenulate ocular impressions along the inner margin of the eye (Fig. 2 C, E View Figure 2 ); dorsal head with randomly sized areolae (Figs 2 D View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); median ocellus diameter 1.5 × LOL (Figs 2 E View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); occipital carina distinctly concave, with lateral part posteriorly protruding (Figs 2 D, E View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); anterior ocellar fovea ventrally slightly extended, triangular with carinate margins and anterior end slightly pointed upwards (Figs 2 E View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); facial sulcus ends at transverse line, dorsally adjacent to the smooth supraclypeal depression (Fig. 2 C View Figure 2 ); interocular sclerite and clypeus with pubescence (Fig. 2 C View Figure 2 ); interocular distance 0.45 × head width (Fig. 2 C View Figure 2 ); scape almost 4.0 × as long as wide (Figs 2 B View Figure 2 , 6 A, E View Figure 6 ); moderately elongated cylindrical flagellomeres (Figs 2 B View Figure 2 , 6 E View Figure 6 ).
Mesosoma. Mesoscutum colliculate, strongly transverse, width 3.5 × its length and anteriorly distinctly steep (Figs 2 F, I View Figure 2 , 6 B View Figure 6 ); notauli complete and less distinct in posterior part (Figs 2 F, I View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); mesoscutum with no randomly sized areolae, mesoscutellum with large randomly sized areolae (Figs 2 F, G View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); scutoscutellar sulci converge medially, adjacent to transscutal articulation (Figs 2 F View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); mesometapleuron smooth with small and few incomplete striations (Figs 2 I View Figure 2 , 6 B View Figure 6 ); lateral propodeal projections medium-sized and oriented posterolaterally, pointed tip of the projections amber-coloured (Figs 2 G View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); median propodeal projection overhangs the anterior margin of the metasoma with its apical half, with rectangular tip from dorsal view (Figs 2 G View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ).
Legs. Metacoxa with longitudinal striations (Figs 2 A View Figure 2 , 6 B View Figure 6 ); metafemur distinctly thickened, length 2.4 × its maximum width (Fig. 2 A View Figure 2 ).
Metasoma. Seven basal longitudinal carinae on the syntergite covering three thirds of the width of the anterior syntergite (Figs 2 G, H, J View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); distinct pit posteromedially of the basal transverse carina on the syntergite (Figs 2 H, I View Figure 2 , 6 A View Figure 6 ); anterolateral syntergite with row of setae as long as basal longitudinal carina (Fig. 2 I View Figure 2 ).
Genitalia (n ° 8011 / 281) (Figs 3 A, B View Figure 3 , 6 C View Figure 6 ). Genitalia length 2.38 × gvc width; gvc width three quarters of gvc length; gvc width 1.09 × distal gvc width. Harpe triangular to cone-shaped; harpe / gvc index 0.76; lateral articulation site of harpe with gvc not flush; lateral margin of harpe straight; medial margins of harpes slightly converging at distodorsal margin of gvc, dorsomedial margin of harpe virtually straight and slightly diverging distolaterally from base to apex, apex of harpe pointed, oriented distolaterally. Harpe with at least two lateral setae restricted to apical quarter, longest lateral setae half as long as harpe; harpe with at least two apical setae, longest apical setae of harpe 1.3 × as long as harpe; harpe with at least five median setae, longest median setae slightly less than half as long as harpe. Aedeagus + gonossiculus more than half as long as harpe, apex of aedeagus + gonossiculus acute.
