On the outer apical margin of the hind tibia there are four to eight stout, spine-like hairs that are usually difficult to detect as they blend into the white hairs surrounding them; nonetheless these stouter hairs are unique in that they are evenly spaced from each other, are found on the apical margin of the tibia, and are usually just slightly longer than the surrounding white hairs (

). The posterior surface of the propodeum is variable in the amount of yellow maculation present, ranging from absent (rare) to three separate pairs of patches (usually there is one maculation above the hind coxa, one laterally on the propodeal triangle, and often a fainter one in between these two maculations). The hypoepimeron usually has a very faint yellow maculation, and the mesepisternum centrally has a longitudinal yellow stripe extending from the anterior angle to the posterior margin. Finally, the anterior surface of the antenna (when directed dorsally) is yellow-brown.

In the males, the yellow maculation on T1 varies widely from uninterrupted to constricted to completely interrupted medially. Most individuals have uninterrupted transverse yellow maculations on the remaining metasomal terga; however, in a few individuals the maculation on T2 is constricted medially and, in a few, completely interrupted. All the examined males have a thin, lateral border of yellow on the otherwise black mesoscutum (

is truly an uncommon species; given its unique morphology, surely the female would have been noticed by past taxonomists had they had specimens before them.
