Length of body

.
Antenna with 45 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere acuminate. Median flagellomeres 2.3 x longer laterally than wide. Occipital carina complete, somewhat sinuate mediodorsally, ventrally joining hypostomal carina. Mesopleuron almost entirely aciculate, precoxal sulcus hardly impressed and hardly more coarsely sculptured, specular area aciculate. Propodeum with midlongitudinal carina on anterior 0.6. Fore wing vein 2- CU1 2.55 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Fore wing vein 3-SR 3 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1.5 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 2.27 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.25 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing vein m-cu represented by a short pigmented fold, nearly interstitial. Apex of hind tibia without comb of modified adpressed setae. Claws without conspicuous pecten. Basal lobes of 1
st
tergite rather large, gently convex anteriorly, concave posteriorly. Midlongitudinal carina of 3
rd
tergite present on anterior 0.7 of tergum.
Antennae largely orange, becoming black on apical 3 or 4 flagellomeres.
Etymology. Because of the longitudinal striation at the base of the 4
th
tergite.
