B 4.5–4.9; A 2.3–2.5; F 2.4–2.8; CT 2.2; ML 0.6; POL 1.0; OOL 1.3; Fl n–1 1.1 ; ASM 1.8; OT 1.8–2.0; FFT 1. Male with inner margins of eyes diverging ventrally, ocelli strongly enlarged, hind femur and femoral tooth stouter, scutellum quite smooth. POL 0.6; OOL 0.3. Differential diagnosis Small and mostly yellowish with variable dark dorsal markings; differentiated from all other Afrotropical species by the combination of the short antenna (basally yellow fading to dark brown), the mesoscutum coriaceous with only few punctures along the notaulus, the strongly transverse clypeus and the short female femoral tooth.
