Male: Body length 20.6 mm. Body black, mandible dark ferruginous in center, femora maroon. Wing membrane light brown, markedly fuscous around subcosta and below submedial cell. Wing veins dark brown to black, cellular area around veins on forewing fuscous. Free clypeal margin slightly concave towards center, with minute lobe there. Appressed pubescence and erect setae on clypeus and frons silvery. Clypeus glabrous ventrally and with narrow glabrous stripe medially. Distance between hind- ocelli slightly smaller than their shortest distance to compound eyes. Pubescence on mesosoma silvery-white, on scutum longer and denser laterally and posteriorly.
