Morphology.- Head dorsally 2.1 times broader than long; temple 0.25 apparent length of eye, curved; POL 1.6 OOL, OOL 1.4 OD; vertex shiny, coarsely reticulate with numerous small punctures, elevated around ocellar triangle. Frontally seen the head is 1.3 times broader than high; mouth 2.4 malar space, malar space 0.3 length of eye; genae straight; front edge of clypeus truncate; Lower face alutaceous, shiny, sparsely set with long white hairs, a raised fold runs from the space between the toruli till clypeus. Upper face nearly bare.
Antenna: toruli above eyeline, but distinctly nearer to clypeus than to anterior ocellus; scapus 3.2 times longer than broad, 0.6 length of eye; pedicellus+flagellum 1.1 times breadth of head , very slightly clavate; pedicellus 1.6 times longer than broad; anellus about twice broader than long; F1 quadrate, following segments quadrate or very slightly transverse; clava 1.6 times longer than broad; sensilla sparse uniseriate.
Mesosoma 1.7 as long as broad; mesonotum 1.3 times longer than broad, coarsely reticulate with many minute punctures, with normal more erect setae. Scutellum 1.2 times as long as broad, reticulation as on mesonotum, setae in posterior part much longer and more erect, posterior part has an indication of a cross furrow, indicating a frenal area, flange narrow with a a few weak trabeculae. Propodeum with alutaceous sculpture.
Hind leg with coxa 2.3 times longer than broad,dorsally hairy in basal half; femur 4.6 times as long as broad, rather coarsely reticulate, shiny; spur of hind tibia slightly longer than breadth of tibia and 0.45 length of basitarsus.
Mesepimeron 1.3 times higher than broad and shorter than mid coxa (13:18). Forewing 2.5 times longer than broad; M:PM:ST=45:15:7.5; costal cell on dorsal side with one complete hairrow and a second one in apical half, lower surface with two complete rows and two additional ones in apical half; basal cell with four setae, closed; basal vein with five setae; speculum reaching M, nearly closed. M:PM:ST=45:15:7.5, stigma petiolate.
with first sternite hardly longer than hind coxa; hypopygium extending 0.75 along gaster, bare except for some hairs at tip. Ovipositor index 2.3. Length 2.2 mm.
Colour: green to blue-green, head green with brassy tinge; scape dark metallic green, funicle brown; palpi brown. Dorsum of mesosoma blue-green; all coxae and femora green, tibiae brown, hind tibiae darker, tarsi dark testaceous, last segment brown. Tegulae brown.
