This species differs from all other species of
This species is named after the unique shape of vein 1M of the hind wing (Fig.
Unknown.
Only known from the type locality in Brazil.
Holotype – female. (
Body length: 4.5 mm. Fore wing length: 3.2 mm

This species is named after the large propodeal areola.
Unknown.
Only known from the type locality in Brazil.
Holotype – female. (
Body length: 2.8 mm. Fore wing length: 2.7 mm.
This species differs from the two previously described species by the presence of notauli on the mesoscutum and the mid and hind tarsal claws with basal lobes.
This species is named after the presence of tarsal lobes
