Head in dorsal view 2.1–2.2× as broad as length and 1.3× as broad as mesoscutum; in frontal view 1.2–1.3× broader than high. POL 1.2–1.3× OOL. Eye height 1.5× eye length and 1.9–2.1× as long as malar space. Frons 1.4– 1.5× broader than eye height. Distance between antennal toruli and lower margin of clypeus 0.8× as long as distance between antennal toruli and median ocellus. Clypeus radially striate, its lower margin weakly emarginate. Mandible formula 3:4. Antenna with scape as long as eye height and 1.20–1.25× as long as eye length; pedicel 2.00–2.25× as long as broad and 1.3–1.4× as long as F1; combined length of pedicel and flagellum 0.9–1.1× breadth of head; second anellus of antenna transverse, 1.9–2.0× as long as first one; flagellum weakly clavate; F1 1.45–1.60× as long as broad, weakly constricted basally; F2–F4 longer than broad, F5 subquadrate, F6 distinctly transverse; each funicular segment with one row of dense sensilla; clava 1.8–2.0× as long as broad.
Mesosoma 1.40–1.55× as long as broad. Pronotal collar medially 1.17–0.20× as long as mesoscutum. Scutellum finely reticulate, 1.0–1.1× as long as broad, with noticeable but shallow frenal line. Propodeum medially 0.65× as long as scutellum; with median carina complete, costula absent; nucha subglobose and reticulate, occupying at most 0.4× length of propodeum. Fore wing 2.30–2.35× as long as maximum width; basal cell of fore wing only with several hairs apically; speculum open; M 1.2–1.3× as long as P and 1.5–1.6× as long as S; P 1.4× as long as S.
Metasoma ovate-acuminate, 1.50–1.75× as long as broad and 1.2–1.3× as long as mesosoma. Ovipositor sheath projecting slightly beyond apex of metasoma.
