Antenna with 45 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere pointed. Median flagellomeres 3.2 longer than wide. Occipital carina strong, rounded and complete medio-dorsally, ventrally joining hypostomal carina. Mesopleuron largely punctate-foveate, anteriorly longitudinally striate, precoxal sulcus weakly impressed, rugulose, speculum area aciculate. Midlongitudinal propodeal carina complete but posteriorly somewhat irregular. Propodeum without lateral carina separating it from metapleuron. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 2.5 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Fore wing vein 3-SR 1.3 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1.1 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 3.8 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.3 x 1-M. Hind wing vein m-cu represented only by a faint pigmented line, antefurcal. Apex of hind tibia without comb of modified adpressed setae. Claws with pecten of 3 or 4 setiform teeth on basal lobe. Basal lobes of 1
