approaches the angular to dentate state seen in species of Afrotropical ernstii-group, although it does not reach that extreme. The dense fine pilosity of T1, characteristic of the ipomeae-group, is well developed. The humeral sulcus is relatively well-developed as a short broad channel along the posterolateral mesoscutum.

is one of the few Afrotropical species in which the occipital carina is broadly obliterated medially. No variation of metasomal color was observed: it is orange throughout in all individuals. In most specimens the mesoscutum at a position roughly corresponding to the location of the parapsidal lines is irregularly flattened and slightly polished in a short strip. Two males are associated and well match the females.
