Median mesonotal suture thin and elongate, reaching more than half of mesonotum length.

Scutellum flattened, without median carina, coarsely punctate, punctures about twice as large as those on mesonotum. Metanotum flattened and as wide as scutellum, anterior two thirds coarsely punctate, posterior third inflexed downwards and shiny; lateral metanotal angles rounded, but well-developed. Mesopleuron markedly convex, very coarsely punctate, punctures become reticulate dorsally; epicnemial carina very well developed and dull. Metapleuron with very large and shallow punctures close to anterior margin; punctures become smaller laterally, only to increase in size on lateral side of propodeum. Dorsal propodeal carina weakly developed and barely visible underneath pubescence, without inferior carina. Propodeal excavation shallow, shallowly punctate dorsally, impunctate and weakly striated ventrally. Entire mesosoma covered by short silvery-yellow pubescence (about half length of anterior ocellus diameter), with somewhat longer whitish setae on propodeal excavation. Second submarginal cell wide, with elongate median angle.
