Antenna with 35 flagellomeres. Median flagellomeres approximately 4.5 x longer than wide. Frons with weak sublateral carina near eye. Occipital carina produced anteriorly near the middle, distinctly obliterated medially, ventrall joining hypostomal carina at a steep angle. Mesopleuron largely aciculate, precoxal sulcus weakly impressed with vertical rugae, speculum large. Propodeum with complete midlongitudinal carina. Fore wing vein 2- CU1 2.3 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Fore wing vein 3-SR 3.08 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1.4 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 1.9 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.35 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing vein m-cu indicated by a weak postfurcal fold in wing membrane, slightly postfurcal. Apex of hind tibia without comb of specialised adpressed setae. Claws without conspicuous pecten. Basal lobes of 1
