black; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, scrobes with weak reticulation; with a strong genal carina that reaches almost to level of lower margin of eyes. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; occipital margin rounded.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with median groove indicated but indistinct in posterior half, with about 10 adnotaular setae (difficult to see as they are dark) ±in two rows. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation with elongate meshes; submedian grooves ±distinct but with outer margin weak, grooves slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; with a complete and strong median groove; with six setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, without median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; with strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with 4&5 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt
1
with a sharp transverse edge dorsally and with longitudinal carinae behind transverse edge in lateral parts; tergites with weak reticulation.
