Description ( Iranian specimens). Diagnostic characters were presented in a comparative form with previously published papers ( Bouček, 1972; Dzhanokmen, 2007; Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012):

FEMALE ( Figs 1–2) Body length of female 2.18 mm. Color . Body dark green, with golden reflection, except mandible, all femora distally, tibiae and tarsi yellow. Antenna entirely metallic [scape yellow basally ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)]. Fore wing venation with distinct pilosity and with a slight fouscus large spot below parastigmal, marginal and stigmal veins; basal third of fore wing bare and the last two thirds distinctly setose. Stigmal and parastigmal veins enlarged, darker than the other venations.

Head ( Fig. 2B). 1.24 times as long as broad. Eye 2.4 times as long as malar space [2.3–2.7 times ( Bouček, 1972)]. Head circularly strigose [finely reticulated with fine punctations ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)]. Clypeus ( Fig. 4D) smooth, shiny, with a row of piliferous punctures in dorsal margin and with two piliferous punctures near to ventral margin [with 2 piliferous punctures close to anterior margin and 2 light ones on the base ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)], ventrally with more than 10 deformed clavate setae in female ( Fig. 4D) [not seen in male ( Fig. 4C)]. Mandibles bidentated, with subbasal clavate seta internally (in male and female) ( Figs 4C–4D). Antennal pedicel and flagellum together about 0.75 times as long as head width [0.7 times as long as head width ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)], as long as eyes distance. Scape 5.5 times as long as wide, pedicel 1.4 times as long as wide ( Fig. 1B) [5.4 and 1.6 times, respectively ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)]; funiculars distinctly transverse with one row of linear sensillae, first funicular with less dense sensillae than the rest; first funicular 0.63 times as long as wide, second - seventh funiculars about 0.66–0.70 times as long as wide; club 1.8 times as long as wide [1.4 times as long as wide ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)].

Mesosoma ( Figs 2A, 2C, 2D). Pronotum with piliferous punctures ( Figs 2A, 2C), 0.88 times as broad as mesoscutum. Notaulus distinctly impressed and obliterated by piliferous punctures ( Fig. 2C). Mesoscutal midlobe mainly transversally strigose, with sparse piliferous punctures, 0.49 times as long as broad; mesoscutal lateral lobe slightly strigose ( Fig. 2C). Mesoscultellum smooth (especially on frenum), 0.8 times as long as broad, with shallow trace of striation in anterior half. Propodeum ( Fig. 2D) delicately reticulate, 2.13 times as long as broad, with incomplete and barely visible median and submedian carinae [without median carina ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)]. Fore wing ( Fig. 2E) with basal cell bare; marginal vein 3 times as long as postmarginal vein and 4 times as long as stigmal vein [3.7 and 4.3 times, respectively ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)]. Hind tibial spur weak and shorter than first tarsal segment.

Metasoma. Metasoma 1.18× as long as mesosoma. Petiole very short, strongly transverse. Gaster with very shallow strigose sculpture. Tip of hypopygium almost reaching apex of gaster. Ovipositor very short but slightly visible at apex of gaster.

MALE ( Fig. 3) Body length 1.88–2.40 mm [ 2 mm ( Doğanlar & Doğanlar, 2012)]. Similar to female except following: Body bright green, with golden reflection ( Fig. 3). Antenna with flagellar segments with less linear sensillae and less transverse than female. Clypeus ( Fig. 4C) without deformed clavate setae at ventral margin (female with 10 clavate setae).
