Description. Promefur color: mostly yellow, dark brown area limited to anterior 0.2 or less. Meso- and meta- femur color: mostly dark brown but with proximal 0.1–0.2 × yellow to orange. Metatibia and metatarsus color: Metatibia with brown to black coloration on posterior 0.2–0.4 ×; metatarsus mostly dark brown, except for yellowish area on anterior half of first tarsomerus. Tegula and humeral complex color: tegula and humeral complex fully yellow to yellowish-white. Pterostigma color: centrally transparent, with yellow-white margins, rarely centrally yellow-white, with thin brown margins. Fore wing veins color: at least some veins with thin brown margins and interior of veins yellow to light brown. Body length (head to apex of metasoma): 2.9 mm or 3.0 mm. Fore wing length: 3.2 mm or 3.3 mm. Ocular-ocellar line/posterior ocellus diameter: 2.0 ×. Interocellar distance/posterior ocellus diameter: 1.9 ×. Antennal flagellomere 2 length/width: 2.3 ×, 2.4 × or 2.5 ×. Antennal flagellomere 14 length/width: 1.3 ×, rarely 1.1 × or 1.5 ×. Length of flagellomere 2/length of flagellomere 14: 2.3 ×, 2.4 ×, 2.5 × or 2.6 ×. Metafemur length/width: 3.2 ×, 3.3 × or 3.4 ×. Mesoscutellar disc: mostly smooth with few, scattered punctures near margins. Number of pits in scutoscutellar sulcus: usually 12 or less, ocasionally reaching up to 14 pits. Propodeum background sculpture: anterior 0.2–0.4 × with rather dull puntures; posterior 0.6–0.8 × mostly sculptured, with mix of small puntures and carinae (mostly radiating from strong, longitudinal median carina). Mediotergite 1 width at anterior margin/width at posterior margin: 3.1 ×, 3.2 × or 3.3 ×. Mediotergite 2 width at posterior margin/length: 3.7 ×, 3.8 ×, 3.9 × or 4.1 ×. Ovipositor sheaths length/metatibial length: 1.1 ×.
Male. As female.
Although morphologically similar to Iconella andydeansi, Iconella jayjayrodriguezae is known from two very widely separated places in Central America, and the barcoding sequences of the two species differ by 8.7% (57 bp).
