Diagnostic description.

Propodeum areola less defined anteriorly; T 1 parallel-sided on anterior 0.6, from that point evenly narrowing towards posterior margin; T 1 width at anterior margin 1.2 × T 1 width at posterior margin, T 1 length 2.2 × T 1 width at posterior margin; T 1 mostly smooth, but with some sculpture along lateral margins on posterior 0.5; T 2 trapezoidal, its width at posterior margin ~ 2.0 × its central length; T 2 mostly sculptured but with relative large area smooth centrally; hypopygium mostly inflexible, with only small, apical, reduced (one or two) pleats; ovipositor sheath 0.50–0.55 × as long as metatibia; tegula and humeral complex brown; profemur brown on anterior ~ 0.5; all coxae, metafemur and most of metatibia (except for anterior 0.2–0.3 yellow-white) brown to dark brown; body length: 1.80–1.90 mm; fore wing length: 1.90–2.10 mm. This species is distinctive because of its short ovipositor sheath, few and poorly defined hypopygium pleats, T 1 and T 2 sculpture and body size and color.
