Description. Female. Body length 4.60– 6.20 mm; fore wing length 3.10–3.60 mm.

Head and mesosoma dark metallic green-blue with diffuse coppery lustre. Antenna with scape yellowish-brown, pedicel brown, flagellum and clava dark brown or black. All coxae metallic green; femur brown, tibia and tarsus yellow, last segment of tarsus yellowish-brown. Fore wing with light brownish tint and with fuscous cloud below stigma, venation yellowish-brown. Metasoma with Mt2 metallic green, Mt3–Mt8 brown with diffuse coppery and violaceous lustre; ovipositor sheath black.

Sculpture of head dorsally reticulate, clypeus weakly alutaceous, malar space weakly reticulate. Pronotum, mesoscutum and axilla reticulate, scutellum, frenal area and lateral areas of propodeum finely reticulate. Metasoma weakly alutaceous or smooth and shining.

Head in dorsal view 1.85–2.00 times as broad as long and 1.12–1.20 times as broad as mesoscutum; in frontal view 1.20–1.26 times broader than high. POL 1.45–1.52 times OOL. Eye height 1.30–1.35 times eye length and 2.30–2.50 times as long as malar space. Distance between antennal toruli and lower margin of clypeus 0.58–0.70 times distance between antennal toruli and medi- an ocellus. Antenna with scape 0.60–0.70 times as long as eye height and 0.90–1.00 times as long as eye length; pedicel 1.50–1.70 times as long as broad and 0.42–0.50 times as long as F1; combined length of pedicel and flagellum 1.60–1.77 times breadth of head; flagellum almost filiform; all anelli transverse; F1 2.60–3.00 times as long as broad, with three–four rows of dense sensilla; F2–F6 longer than broad.

Mesosoma 1.76–2.00 times as long as broad. Scutellum 1.20–1.30 times as long as broad. Propodeum medially about 0,38–0.40 times as long as scutellum; median carina complete and straight; nucha absent.

Fore wing 2.53–2.60 times as long as maximum width; basal cell pilose apically; speculum closed; costal cell with two complete rows setae; marginal vein 0.80–0.85 times as long as postmarginal vein and 1.70–1.88 times as long as stigmal vein.

Metasoma lanceolate, 2.10–2.15 times as long as mesosoma and 1.60–1.66 times as long as mesosoma and head; Mt8 1.76–1.85 times longer than maximum width; ovipositor sheath 0.43–0.63 times length of Mt8.

Male. Body length 3.40 mm; fore wing length 2.40 mm.

Head, mesosoma and metasoma dark metallic green with diffuse coppery lustre. Antenna with scape and pedicel dark metallic green, flagellum and clava dark brown. All femora metallic-green. Fore wing with light brownish tint and without fuscous cloud below stigma, venation yellowish-brown.

Sculpture of clypeus weakly alutaceous and shining, malar space alutaceous. Pronotum, mesoscutum and lateral areas of propodeum reticulate, scutellum and axilla finely reticulate.

POL 1.62 times OOL. Distance between antennal toruli and lower margin of clypeus 0.80 times distance between antennal toruli and medi- an ocellus. Antenna with scape 0.67 times as long as eye height and 0.87 times as long as eye length; pedicel 1.30 times as long as broad; combined length of pedicel and flagellum 2.13 times breadth of head. Fore wing 2.40 times as long as maximum width. Metasoma 1.23 times as long as mesosoma and 0.92 times as long as mesosoma and head.

Otherwise similar to female.

Comparative diagnosis. Janssoniella notata along with those of known eastern Palaearctic congeneric species ( J. albiclava , J. magna and J. rachini ) has a largest body size and the fore wing with a brownish tint. However, J. notata has the fore wing with light brownish tint and with fuscous cloud below stigma (vs brownish tint and without fuscous cloud below stigma), propodeum medially 0,38–0.40 times as long as scutellum (vs 0.20–0.30 times), metasoma with Mt8 1.76–1.85 times longer than maximum width (vs 2.60–5.60).

Distribution. Japan.

Biology. Unknown.
