metallic greenish-blue; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; without genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe without median groove, with five setae in one row close to notauli. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves indistinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; anterior pair of setae placed in the middle of mesoscutellum. Dorsellum with strong sculpture. Propodeum with a triangular median carina, concave; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with three setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt
1
with a transverse edge dorsally, more shiny than remaining tergites which have rather strong reticulation.
