Body. Length. 6.0 mm. Color. Mottled black and brown except laterotergite 1 whitish, otherwise metasoma mostly brown ( Fig. 8 ). Forewing mostly weakly infuscate but less so anterobasally and at midlength ( Fig. 8A ). Head. Number of flagellomeres 31. Scape flared apicoanteriorly with expanded apical surface ( Fig. 9B ). Antennal scrobe deep ( Fig. 9E ); entirely transversely rugosostriate, somewhat smoother dorsomedially. Gena with wide irregular punctures, lacking distinct rugose striae ( Fig. 9B ). Face entirely rugose ( Fig. 9A ). Area between antennal scrobe and inner orbit of eye with protuberance ( Fig. 9A ). Vertex with weak punctures ( Fig. 9E ). Posterior orbit of eye with distinct crenulate margin ( Fig. 9B ). Mesosoma. Middle lobe of scutum entirely smooth with punctures ( Fig. 9C ). Notauli crenulations weak and partly effaced ( Fig. 9C ). Mesopleuron at least partly smooth with punctures ( Fig. 8C ). Sternaulus absent ( Fig. 8C ). Discrimen (median longitudinal ventral sulcus between mesopleura) crenulate. Metapleuron mostly rugose, lacking a large smooth lightly punctate area, or partly rugose but with a large smooth lightly punctate area. Propodeum entirely rugose without smooth area posterolaterally ( Fig. 9D ). Metasoma.
