BINBOLD:AAB8584, based on an almost complete sequence (573 bp), but see Notes below.

Tarsal claws spines: 3. Pterostigma shape: comparatively less elongate, its length ≤ 2.5× its central height and usually more rounded with at least one of its lower margins curved. T1 sculpture: strongly sculptured on at least apical half or more. T1 central ridge: strongly marked by two raised carinae and strong costulae centrally. T2 sculpture: strongly sculptured. Ovipositor sheaths length: shorter than first segment of metatarsus. Body length: 4.2–4.4 mm. Fore wing length: 4.2–4.6 mm.

The associated BIN includes at least three (possibly more) species, see further explanations and details under the treatment of Alphomelonmelanoscelis. One female from Venezuela (WMIC 0349) is kept provisionally as this species but is excluded from the type series because it probably represents a different, undescribed species.
