This species can be recognized by the combination of the following features: large body size (body length ~27 mm); pubescence black; integument dark brown to black throughout, with legs and apical margins of terga light brown; tegula black; wings dark brown with green highlights; labrum basally with three longitudinally elongated tubercles; gena and supraocular areas densely punctate, punctures separated by ~1-1.5 times a puncture width; mesoscutellum with basal, smooth and shiny surface gently continuing onto distal, punctate surface; T2 densely punctate on disc, punctures small, separated by a puncture width, punctures denser laterally; T3 with sparse punctures on disc, punctures small, separated by 1-2 times a puncture width; T4-T6 with large punctures on discs, punctures separated by a puncture width; T1 with very short, plumose and simple setae intermixed; discs of T2 and basally on T3 with very short (0.2-0.4
OD), simple setae. The male can be easily recognized by the distinctive punctation and pubescence of T2 and T3, which are finely and densely punctate, with very short setae, each seta barely exiting the puncture. Thus, these terga appear largely bare at low magnifications when compared with remaining terga, which are densely covered by very long setae.

was described from eight specimens (four females, three males and one gynandromorph) and no holotype was designated. In 1959, these syntypes were loaned to the late J.S. Moure and have never returned to the MIZ (T. Hufleit, pers. comm.). We were able to locate two females, two males, and the gynandromorph specimen in the general bee collection of the USNM. The remaining two females and one male could not be located at the Universidade Federal do
, Curitiba, Brazil (G. Melo, pers. comm.). To stabilize the name, we chose one of the females as the lectotype. The label data for this specimen are as follows: Argentinien, Mendoza, Jensen-Haarup S. 1.1.07 [green label] / Type [red label] /
