Fore basitarsus 3.6 times longer than deep. Length of hind femur:tibia:basitarsus52.0:2.9:1.0. Hind basitarsus 5.0 times longer than deep. First metasomal tergite 1.5 times longer than wide; raised median area smooth with weak anterior depression and strong ridges on posterior margin. Second tergite 1.8 times wider than long; strongly medially to submedially striated posterior to raised triangular area. Triangular area not smooth, but very faintly strigose. Third tergite 2.2 times wider than long; strongly striated, only smooth areas antero-laterally. Sculpture on tergites three and four similar. Tergite five with strigated transverse furrows on anterior and subposterior margins. Tergites six to eight smooth.
