Pronotum seen from full dorsal view with anterior surface (above 
neck) and humeri evenly and broadly rounded; sides gradually 
become less convex and converge as they continue caudad; slightly 
concave where they overlap the mesopleura. Posterior edge of 
pronotum forming a broad U with gently divergent arms. Pro- 
mesonotal suture impressed and probably flexible. Remainder 
of trunk seen from above with parallel sides, narrower than pro- 
notum (maximum pronotal W 1.06 mm, maximum propodeal 
W 0.78 mm). Slight impressions in the sides are evident at the 
promesonotal suture, and somewhat more distinctly at the level 
of the metathoracic spiracles. Declivity of propodeum shallowly 
concave from above. In side view the dorsal profiles of mesonotum 
and propodeum are flat for the most part, but gently convex at each 
end and with broad feeble impressions fore and aft of the meta- 
spiracle. Pronotal dorsum tilted ventrad from mesonotum; dorsal 
profile gently convex, meets nearly vertical anterior face in broadly 
rounded corner. Sides of pronotum are inclined dorsomesad and 
insensibly merge with dorsum, except near promesonotal suture 
where there is a distinct corner. At this juncture the ventral edge 
of the pronotum is strongly impressed mesad (around procoxal 
articulations) and the sides become inclined slightly dorsolaterad. 
The mesopleuron in side view is subtrapezoidal and clearly out- 
lined by concave sutures (weaker along dorsal edge). Metapleuron 
indicated by vague sulcus running from dorsal edge of a deep pit 
behind metaspiracle to ventral edge of propodeal spiracle and dorsal 
edge of metapleural gland. Metapleural gland bulla not enlarged, 
meatus partially occluded by dense appressed hairs. Opening of 
propodeal spiracle circular. Dorsum of propodeum broadly curved 
into declivity, but the curve interrupted on each side by a short 
tooth (fig. 2). Lateral margins of declivity concave in side view, 
sharp only along dorsal half. From behind, the declivity is sub- 
triangular, concave (fig. 3). 
Legs long and slender. Forefemur only slightly incrassate (W/ L 
26%). Hind femur L 1.80 mm (W/L 20%). Hind tibia L 1.55 mm. 
Oblique conical setae on flexor surfaces of tarsi sparse and minute. 
Middle teeth of tarsal claws very small and difficult to see. Middle 
and hind tibiae with paired spurs, lateral spurs slightly shorter. 
All spurs pectinate. Flexor surface of proximal end of basitarsus 
of hind leg with weak depression opposite tibial spurs.
