body
shape♀ 3.3mm, ♂ 3.1mm [T13].
colorThe body is densely and finely sculptured [T13].
head
shapeThe head is strongly rounded-narrowed behind the eyes, 1.2 times wider than mesosoma, its width is twice the length. Temple length equal to the transverse diameter of the eye. POL is equal to 3 Od. Eyes shortly-ovate, their longitudinal diameter 1.4 times the transverse one, 3.5 times the height of the malar space, 0.8 times the width of the face. Height of face 2.2 times less than width [T13][T14].
sculptureThe face with fine rugae descending in a fan-like manner from its upper lateral corners. The vertex and the temples are finely streaked [T13].
color
antenna
shape ♀Antennae a little shorter than the head and mesosoma. 3rd segment 2.5 times as long as wide, segments in apical part of flagellum of equal length and width [T13][T14]..
shape ♂Antennae slightly shorter than the body, 24-segments [T13].
color
mesosoma
shapeMesosoma length 1.7 times its height. Propodeum without transverse carina and with weak lateral teeth [T13]. Propodeum without transverse carina and with very weak lateral teeth [T14].
sculptureMesonotum transversely rugose in anterior half [T13].
color
legs
shapeHind femur length three times its width. Hind tarsi shorter than hind tibiae, their 5th segment equal to the 3rd. Inner spur of hind tibia slightly shorter than 0.5 metatarsus [T13].
sculpture
colorLegs mostly dark-colored, hind tibiae dark brown, hind metatars ventrally yellow [T13].
wings
shape1-R1 1.3 times shorter than pterostigma. The marginal cell is twice as large as the 2nd submarginal cell. 3-SR slightly shorter than r, 3.5 times shorter than SR1, equal to 0.6 times 2-SR [T13].
colorWings in apical half slightly darkened, with brown veins, in basal half light, with slightly pigmented veins [T13].
metasoma
shape♀: Metasoma oval, the carapace is slightly bent apically, its length 1.8 times its width. ♂: Metasoma is twice as long as wide, narrower than the mesosoma (28:33); the same width as the mesonotum [T13].
sculptureMetasoma in basal third with several weak longitudinal rugae [T13].
color
♀ ovipositor
♂ apertureThe aperture is located in the middle of the hind surface of metasoma, and occupies 0.25 of its width, its height is slightly less than its width [T13]. Apical aperture almost round (its height is slightly less than width), located in the middle of metasomal apex, occupies 0.25 of its width [T14].
