Coxae color (pro-, meso-, metacoxa): pale, pale, dark or pale, pale, pale. Femora color (pro-, meso-, metafemur): pale, pale, mostly pale but posterior 0.2 or less dark. Tibiae color (pro-, meso-, metatibia): pale, pale, mostly pale but with posterior 0.2 or less dark. Tegula and humeral complex color: both pale. Pterostigma color: dark. Fore wing veins color: mostly dark (a few veins may be unpigmented). Antenna length/body length: antenna shorter than body (head to apex of metasoma), not extending beyond anterior 0.7 metasoma length. Body in lateral view: not distinctly flattened dorso entrally. Body length (head to apex of metasoma): 2.7?.8 mm, 2.9?.0 mm, rarely 3.1?.2 mm. Fore wing length: 2.9?.0 mm, 3.1?.2 mm, rarely 2.7?.8 mm. Ocular cellar line/posterior LLY-507 price ocellus diameter: 2.0?.2. Interocellar distance/posterior ocellus diameter: 1.4?.6. Antennal flagellomerus 2 length/width: 2.3?.5. Antennal flagellomerus 14 length/width: 1.4?.6. Length of flagellomerus 2/length of flagellomerus 14: 2.0?.2. Tarsal claws: with single basal spine ike seta. Metafemur length/width: 2.8?.9. Metatibia inner spur length/metabasitarsus length: 0.4?.5. Anteromesoscutum: mostly with deep, dense punctures (separated by less than 2.0 ?its maximum diameter). Mesoscutellar disc: mostly punctured. Number of pits in scutoscutellar sulcus: 7 or 8. Maximum height of mesoscutellum lunules/maximum height of lateral face of mesoscutellum: 0.6?.7. Propodeum areola: completely defined by carinae, including transverse carina extending to spiracle. Propodeum background sculpture: partly sculptured, especially on anterior 0.5. Mediotergite 1 length/width at posterior margin: 2.6?.8. Mediotergite 1 shape: mostly parallel ided for 0.5?.7 of its length, then narrowing posteriorly so mediotergite anterior width >1.1 ?posterior width, rarely slightly widening from anterior margin to 0.7?.8 mediotergite length (where maximum width is reached), then narrowing towards posterior margin. Mediotergite 1 sculpture: with some sculpture near lateral margins and/or posterior 0.2?.4 of mediotergite. Mediotergite 2 width at posterior margin/length: 3.6?.9. Mediotergite 2 sculpture: mostly smooth. Outer margin of hypopygium: inflexible (without a SCR7 web folded, transparent, semi esclerotized area); with no plea.This species to Manuel Araya in recognition of his diligent efforts for the ACG Programa de Sectores.
