10.5 mm
. Flagellum long, slightly lanceolate, with 39 flagellomeres, 1
st
and 2
nd
flagellomeres each c.3.0x longer than wide; widest flagellomeres 1.2x wider than long. Temple long, parallel behind eye and slightly narrowed apically, c.0.7x as wide as the eye. Distance of lateral ocellus to eye 1.4x its diameter. Temple and frons smooth and shining. Face and clypeus densely and finely punctate; gena with scattered punctures ventrally. Mandible large and wide, with a wide gap between both teeth, lower tooth slightly shorter than the upper one. Malar space c.1.1x wider than mandibular base. Genal carina reaching mandibular base.
Pronotum with oblique striae caudally and ventrally, epomia strongly developed, very long. Mesoscutum without distinct notaulus, with coarse irregular rugae and three smooth stripes medially and in the centers of lateral fields. Mesopleuron strongly striate dorsally and punctate-striate ventrally, speculum smooth. Metapleuron rugose-punctate, juxtacoxal carina distinct. Scutellum flat, about as long as wide, coarsely rugose basally and striate in apical half, with complete lateral carina. Propodeum rugose-punctate; area superomedia heart-shaped, slightly wider than long, smooth, apical carina obsolete; area superoexterna finely striate. Area petiolaris not impressed. Hind coxa coarsely punctate, without apical tooth or lamella; hind femur with dense punctures, c.4.0x longer than wide. Claws not pectinate.
Areolet quadrangular; 2

Color: Head black. Yellowish areas are located as follows: base of mandible, stripe on clypeal side confluent with narrow facial and frontal orbits up to anterior ocellus. Flagellum black, with ivory stripes on flagellomeres 8-14. Mesosoma black with metallic blue shine. Metasoma black with metallic blue shine; petiolus dark reddish-brown; 7
