Pronotum polished, laterally excavated with a row of large oblong foveae situated posteriorly on the margin with the mesopleuron, no foveae along dorsolateral margin, dorsally with transverse excavation. Mesoscutal anterior plate polished, with a medial suture grading medially into a row of approximately five punctures, and a lateral carina bounded laterally by weak foveae; mesoscutum as wide as long, mesoscutal lobes polished, with scattered shallow punctures and sparse, short setae, antero-lateral areas orange, smoothly rounded except for shallow punctures; sparse shallow foveae scattered posterolaterally; medial mesoscutal furrow deep, narrow and straight edged; transscutal articulation a smooth, narrow furrow, anterior edge straight, posterior edge straight; scutoscutellar sulci medially comprising a continuous shallow groove with very weakly defined septa, laterally grading into three large separate foveae; anteriorly meeting before reaching transscutal articulation; scutellar disc medially polished, with scattered erect, white setae laterally and posteriorly; mesopleuron anteriorly shallowly foveate with short white setae, in anterior 1/2 medially polished, with large median mid-pit. Metanotum with raised, setose medial area flanked laterally by depression with 3-5 foveae. Propodeum medially polished with strongly reduced transverse carinae between the submedian longitudinal carinae defining the three central tracks; lateral longitudinal tracks with defined transverse carinae. All five tracks anteriorly with two or three deep foveae.

longer than wide; wing basally with cells C, R and 1A with longer, more sparsely spaced setae; remaining wing surface evenly covered with small, scattered setae; wing clear, with two light brown pigmented vertical bands. Basal wing band narrowest medially, covering ventral medial portion of cell C, basal 1/2 of cell 1M, anterior ends of cells R and 1Cu, extending ventrally to wing margin, covering all of cell 2CU and 3A, both of which are only weakly demarcated by ephemeral veins; apical wing band wider, starting at base of pterostigma, and anterior end of 1R1, extending apically to cover entire marginal cell 2R1, posteriorly to cover entire cell 1+2RS, ventrally wider and more diffuse, with infuscate pigmentation extending across cells 2+3M and 3CU, and reaching lower wing margin; light infuscation covering medial section of apical wing area; forewing venation with vein Rs apically curving abruptly towards anterior wing margin to form short, truncate marginal cell 2R1; apical segment of vein M long, extending beyond apex of marginal cell, vein M with small white bulla situated at mid length of vein. Hind wing with apical stub of vein Rs 2/3 of shortest width between the propodeal submedian longitudinal carinae.
