Diagnostic description.

Anteromesoscutum dull, with rather coarse punctures; scutellar disc mostly smooth and shiny, with very few punctures along margins; fore wing vein R 1 significantly longer than pterostigma and> 4.0 × as long as the space between its end and end of vein 3 RSb; propodeum with coarse sculpture; T 1 strongly sculptured on posterior 0.6; T 2 almost entirely sculptured but smooth centrally or along margins; T 2 transverse, its width at posterior margin 4.0 × its central length; tegula and humeral complex yellow; pterostigma mostly yellow or white-yellow, with thin brown margins; pro- and mesocoxae brown, metacoxa dark brown to black; metafemur mostly dark brown, metatibia yellow on anterior ~ 0.4, rest dark brown; body length: 2.35–2.73 mm; fore wing length: 2.50–2.60 mm. The shape and sculpture of T 1 and T 2, sculpture of mesosoma (especially contrast between anteromesoscutum, scutellar disc and propodeum), and color of tegula, humeral complex, pterostigma and legs distinguish this species among all others with T 2 sculptured but transverse.

Etymology.

Named in honor of Mr. Joseph Fridman of Gingko Bioworks in recognition of his warm and detailed 2022 welcome to representatives from GDFCF / ACG exploring the potential of a synthetic biology foundry with strong potential for non-damaging development of complex tropical biodiversity genomics as a potential product from wild tropical ecosystems, and therefore increasing their intact desirability by tropical societies.
