Diagnosis (female).
Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (
Fig. 770
); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (
Fig. 346
) with median part with weak reticulation and a complete median groove, submedian grooves curved and diverging slightly towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (
Fig. 346
) with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation, callus with five setae; gaster (
Fig. 346
) 2.0× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U (as in
Fig. 24
), tergites with very strong reticulation.
