Mesosoma 1.10–1.15× as long as broad. Pronotal collar medially 0.2× as long as mesoscutum. Scutellum finely reticulate, about as long as broad, with noticeable but shallow frenal line. Propodeum medially 0.70–0.75× as long as scutellum; usually with median carina and costula complete; nucha subglobose and strongly reticulate, occupying 0.50× length of propodeum. Fore wing 2.3–2.4× as long as maximum width; basal cell bare; speculum open; M 1.2× as long as P and 1.48–1.53× as long as S; P 1.2–1.3× as long as S. FIGURES 1–6.
