Mesosoma
(Fig.

x
as long as its maximum height. Pronotum with 6-7 transverse elements. Mesoscutum slightly and gently elevated above pronotum, coarsely rugose, moderately setose. Notauli deep, crenulate; lateral lobes of mesoscutum and anterior end slightly convex. Mesoscutellum about as long as its base, sparsely granulate, with sparse, short whitish setae. SOS smoothly rugate; mtn scrobiculate, with small rounded protrusion postero-medially overlapping base of propodeum, 0.4
