Propodeum falling almost vertically behind metanotum in lateral view; posterior face shallowly concave but sharply separated from other faces; lateral faces distinctly depressed with convex posterodorsal margin; submarginal carina shallowly produced above valvula. T1 more or less trapezoidal, 0.45 × as long as wide in dorsal view; horizontal face weakly depressed on disc; posterior margin thin with a short hyaline lamellar margin. T2 0.85 × as long as wide in dorsal view, apical margin shortly lamellate and yellow-hyaline, transition between tergite and lamella marked by raised lamellar ridge mostly covering the true apical margin medially but disappearing laterally.

.

Frons with shallow flat-bottomed polygonal cells, touching and separated by irregular interspaces reduced to narrow ridges, cells with shiny micropunctate bottom and interspaces matte; vertex shiny with barely visible shagreen and sparse shallow punctures, gena densely micropunctate and very shiny with punctures mostly restricted to anterior margin. Scape matte, shagreened with dense fine punctures. Pronotum, mesoscutum and scutellum with dense deep punctures; interspaces mostly reduced to narrow ridges, partly flattened but narrower than puncture diameter on scutellum; lateral faces of pronotum micropunctate and shiny with sparse shallow punctures. Metanotum with coarse oblique punctures in median area, more finely punctate laterally. Mesepisternum with large flat-bottomed punctures, denser along epicnemial carina and becoming sparser posteriorly, leaving a narrow impunctate area on posterior sloping part; epicnemium and mesosternum finely shagreened and shiny, with sparse fine punctures on mesosternum. Dorsal faces of propodeum with very large and coarse punctures, interspaces mostly reduced to very narrow and sharp raised ridges, anterior third with some shiny and micropunctate flattened interspaces; posterior face very finely micropunctate and shiny, with very fine oblique striae on lower fourth, some shallow punctures along dorsal margin; metaepisternum and lateral faces of propodeum finely shagreened and striate, gradually replaced by elongate flat-bottomed punctures along posterodorsal margin of propodeum. T1 finely shagreened and micropunctate, silky shiny, with sparse barely visible punctures; T2 similar to T1 but micropunctures denser and more evident, macropunctures barely deeper, interspaces more shiny; T3–4 shagreened with coarse and dense oblique punctures; T5–6 shagreened and micropunctate, with very sparse fine punctures; S1 matte and irregularly sculpted; S2 similar to T2 but punctures well marked and deep; S3–6 similar to respective tergites. Head and mesosoma with pale brassy suberect setae; clypeus, lower third of frons, gena and sides of mesosoma with dense whitish pubescence; dorsal and posterior faces of propodeum covered in short white setae, longer on lateral corners; metasoma with dense appressed brassy pubescence, T2–6 and S2–5 with preapical series of suberect longer setae.
