Head
(
Fig. 10
A–C): antenna with 29 flagellomeres, each with two to four rows of longitudinal placodes; vertex smooth with sparse setae; occipital carina with evenly spaced setae over its entirety; lateral carina bordering antennal scrobe incomplete; median lamella of antennal scrobe flattened anteriorly, acute posteriorly; face and clypeus with dense punctures; ventral margin of clypeus with three blunt tubercles.
Mesosoma
(
Fig. 10
D–E): anterior margin of pronotum protruding posteriorly as curl of cuticle; pronotum rugosopunctate anteriorly, crenulate medianly and posteriorly, with moderate to dense setae; anterior face of mesoscutum moderately foveate with moderate to dense setae; median lobe of mesoscutum triangular; mesoscutum rugosofoveate with moderate setae anterolaterally, lateral lobe with sparse fovea and setae; notauli meeting in anterior half of mesoscutum, with transverse carinae that create large oval and rectangular fovea; transscutal articulation slightly grooved medianly; scutellar disc smooth with sparse setae; scutellar sulcus with six fovea; propleuron foveate with moderate to dense setation; mesopleuron with carinae running perpendicular to epicnemial area, pleural sulcus foveate with rugosity ventrally, otherwise mesopleuron smooth with dense setae anteriorly and posteroventrally; sternaulus complete, restricted to single row of ovoid fovea; propodeum irregularly areolate and foveate with moderately dense setae; metapleuron irregularly areolate with moderate setation; hind coxa with distinct groove or depression on median face; sharp carina on anterior border of hind coxal groove present; tarsal claw with basal lobe absent.
Metasoma
(
Fig. 10
F): t1 with very weak dorsal carinae basally, otherwise smooth; t4–t7 with dense, small pits posteroventrally near spiracles; first valvula of ovipositor with serrations apically; second valvula with one subapical serration present; ratio of length:width of t1 1.2; ratio of ovipositor:forewing 1.7; ratio of M+CU:1M vein of hind wing 2.8.
