Head
. Flagellum with 30 flagellomeres, slightly lanceolate; 1
st
flagellomere 3.3 × longer than wide; 9
th
flagellomere square; widest flagellomere 1.4 × wider than long. Head densely punctate. Temple long, dorsally 0.8 × as long as eye, slightly and roundly narrowed behind eye (fig. 35B). OED 2.2 × and OOD 1.7 × ocellar diameter. Frons and face rugose-punctate, dull. Clypeus almost flat, sides slightly bulging, moderately blade-like apically, with sparse punctures; apical margin thin, slightly concave (fig. 35A). Mandible with two teeth, lower tooth small and strongly bent inwards; mandible—seen from frontal—sickle-shaped. Malar space 1.5 × as long as width of mandibular base. Genal carina reaching mandibular base.
Mesosoma
. Mesoscutum finely and densely punctate and granulate, dull. Side of pronotum rugose-punctate dorsally, coarse rugose ventrally. Mesopleuron and metapleuron densely rugose-punctate; speculum punctate; juxtacoxal carina present. Scutellum distinctly elevated and almost pyramidal, about as long as wide, coarsely punctate, with lateral carina in basal 0.8. Propodeum completely carinated (fig. 35C), spiracle slit-shaped. Area basalis and area superomedia confluent. Area basalis with median tubercle. Area superomedia hexagonal, 1.8 × longer than wide; costula reaching at its frontal 0.4. Apical transverse carina slightly lamelliform at outer edge of area dentipara, but without apophysis. Hind coxa densely punctate, with distinct scopa in its apico-ventral third. Hind femur 4.2 × longer than wide. Claws simple. Areolet pentagonal, frontal distance between veins 2rs-m and 3rs-m 3.0 × their width; vein 1cu-a slightly antefurcal by 1.0 × its width.

tergite finely striate between thyridia. Ovipositor sheath slightly reaching behind metasomal apex.
Colour
. Black. Flagellum black, flagellomeres 7–10 with ivory rings. Hind edge of pronotum, collar and apical 2/3 of scutellum yellow. Mesopleuron red, black fronto-dorsally. Mesosternum, metapleuron and propodeum red. 1
