In full-face view, head subquadrate, longer than broad (CI 84–90). Mandibles densely, finely striate, but shining and armed with five teeth: the apical-most well developed and acute, followed by a less developed preapical tooth and three equally developed smaller teeth. Anterior clypeal margin weakly convex to weakly emarginate medially. Antennal scapes very long: when fully retracted, surpassing the posterior margin of the head capsule by about three times the maximum width of the antennal scape (SI 100–14). Antennae 12-segmented; antennal club of composed of three segments, with the apical-most segment slightly longer than the preceding two in combination. Torular laminae not strongly developed: narrower than the distance that separates them. Frontal carinae short, extending past the antennal toruli by about the maximum width of the antennal scape. Lateral margin of head weakly convex, forming a continuous arc from the mandibular insertions to the posterior margin of the head. Posterior head margin flat but rounding evenly into the lateral margins. Compound eyes moderately protruding past the lateral margins of the head capsule.

Postpetiole weakly shining though shallow areolate sculpture. Gaster smooth and shining, but with moderately strong spectral iridescence on the first gastral tergite and sternite.</paragraph>

Mandibles densely, finely striate, but shining and armed with five teeth: the apical-most well developed, followed by a less developed preapical tooth and three equally developed smaller teeth. Anterior clypeal margin flat medially. Antennal scapes very long: when fully retracted, surpassing the posterior margin of the head capsule by about two times the maximum width of the scape (SI 90–94). Antennae 12-segmented; antennal club composed of three segments, with the apical-most segment slightly longer than the preceding two in combination. Torular laminae not strongly developed: narrower than the distance that separates them. Frontal carinae moderately short, extending past the antennal toruli by about two times the maximum width of the antennal scape. Compound eyes moderately protruding past the lateral margins of the head capsule. Lateral margin of head evenly convex, converging from below the compound eyes to the mandibular insertions. Posterior head margin flat, rounding evenly into the lateral margins.

In full-face view, head subovate, about as long as broad (CI 98–102). Mandibles smooth and shining and armed with two teeth: the apical-most well developed and acute, followed by a smaller preapical tooth and a series of weak crenulae. Anterior clypeal margin entire and flat. Antennal scapes short: when fully retracted, failing to reach the posterior margin of the head capsule by about their length (SI 38–40). Antennae 13-segmented; antennal club composed of four segments, with the apical-most segment longer than the preceding two in combination. Frontal carinae short, extending past the antennal toruli by two times the maximum width of the antennal scape. Compound eyes strongly protruding past the lateral margins of the head capsule. Posterior and lateral head margins indistinct, forming an even convexity.

<paragraph blockId="230.[498,1542,234,1895]" pageId="230" pageNumber="231">In profile view, compound eyes ovular and large (OI 38–42), with 20 ommatidia in the longest row. Mesoscutum slightly bulging anteriorly, but not completely covering the dorsal surface of the pronotum, evenly convex from where it joins the petiolar neck to the mesoscutellum. Mesoscutellum depressed slightly below the level of the mesoscutum; posterior margin overhanging the posterior margin of the metanotum. Propodeal spiracle well developed, directed posterolaterally, and separated from the propodeal declivity by about three spiracle diameters. Propodeal spines absent. Propodeal lobes rounded and weakly developed. Metapleural gland bulla small, extending a third of the way between the insertion of the metacoxa and the propodeal spiracle. Petiole moderately long (PLI 172–173), with weakly developed tubercles anterodorsally. Subpetiolar process a weakly developed, blunt triangular tooth. Petiolar peduncle very long: comprising two thirds of the total length of the petiole. Petiolar node low and rounded, the convergence of the anterior and dorsal faces marked by a rounded angle. Postpetiole evenly rounded anterodorsally, flattened dorsally, and with a lobed, concave ventral surface.</paragraph>

Petiolar peduncle with spiracles strongly protruding past the lateral margins, the peduncle broadened where they arise. Petiolar node wider than the peduncle; petiole narrowing posterior to the node, before widening again to the caudal cylinder, which is about the same width as the node. Postpetiole very broad (PWI 242–264) and campaniform, articulating with most of the anterior margin of the gaster. Anterior margin of postpetiole convex, the anterior corners evenly rounding into the lateral margins, which evenly diverge to the angulate posterior corners; posterior margin of postpetiole flat. Metafemur not incrassate (FI 167–210).</paragraph>

Head areolate, with weak costulae. Pronotum areolate, but with smooth patches dorsolaterally. Katepisternum mostly smooth and shining, but with areolate sculpture where it joins the anepisternum. Anepisternum with the anterior half smooth and shining; posterior half is areolate. Ventral half of the metapleuron smooth and shining; dorsal half areolate. Propodeum areolate on all surfaces. Mesoscutum with two broad strips of smooth and shining sculpture anteriorly, which flank a patch of finely areolate sculpture medially; the two strips converge posteriorly and extend to the border with the mesoscutellum; two broad patches of smooth and shining sculpture flank the Mayrian furrows; otherwise mesoscutum is finely areolate. Mesoscutellum densely areolate and costulate. Femora smooth and shining, with traces weak areolate sculpture distally. Petiole with shallow areolate sculpture at the base of the petiolar node, otherwise smooth and shining. Dorsal surface of postpetiole shining, with traces of areolate sculpture posteromedially. Gaster smooth and shining, without traces of spectral iridescence.</paragraph>
