Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.
Mesoscutum with very strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, slightly elongate on midlobe; midlobe with median groove indicated, with seven setae in two rows close to notauli. Mesoscutellum with very strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric; submedian grooves absent; anterior pair of setae placed in the middle of mesoscutellum. Dorsellum with strong reticulation. Propodeum with median carina strong and raised in a tooth in anterior part; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation, hind coxa with a strong carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below and towards base of wing; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt
