Diagnosis (female).
Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2, flagellum nar- row (

black; gonoplac black.
Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a very weak median groove in posterior half, with nine scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong rugosity; submedian grooves with outer margin absent, straight and slightly diverging towards posterior part; with a complete but weak median groove; with nine setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong and relatively wide median carina that expands posteriorly; with a mix of irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with three setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U; tergites with strong reticulation; longest cercal seta broken off.
