Antenna with 29 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere acuminate. Median flagellomeres approximately 3.5 x longer than wide. Occipital carina broadly interrupted medially, ventrally joining hypostomal carina.

[Propodeum obscured by glue.] Fore wing vein 2-CU1 2.15 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Fore wing vein 3-SR 0.7 x vein r, and shorter than 2-SR. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 4.46 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.15 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing vein m-cu represented by a faint, long, slightly curved fold, interstitial. Apex of hind tibia without comb of specialised adpressed setae medially. Claws without conspicuous pecten. Basal lobes of 1

tergite not protruding. Midlongitudinal carina of 3
