Diagnostic description.

Scutellar disc with coarse punctures; anterior half of mesopleuron and anteromesoscutum with relatively coarse punctures; propodeum areola comparatively broad (its height ~ 1.2 × its central width) and open anteriorly; T 1 and T 2 heavily sculptured with strong longitudinal striae; T 1 comparatively thin and mostly parallel-sided but posterior 0.1–0.3 slightly narrowing towards posterior margin; T 2 broadly trapezoidal in shape (with posterior margin slightly arcuate); ovipositor sheath ≤ 1.2 × metatibia length; ovipositor not sinuate; tegula and humeral complex yellow; pterostigma pale brown but centrally paler than margins; metacoxa entirely dark brown; metatibia entirely brown to dark brown; body length: 2.70–3.00 mm; fore wing length: 2.80–3.10 mm; BIN BOLD: AAD 2236 , which is 5.61 % different from the nearest BIN in BOLD as of March 2022. The color of tegula, metacoxa, metatibia and pterostigma, and the sculpture of scutellar disc and anterior half of mesopleuron and anteromesoscutum separates this species from others with T 1 and T 2 heavily sculptured and T 1 comparatively thin.
