Color of pilosity of dorsomedial head in female: brown or predominantly brown. Form of anteclypeus between medial teeth in female: striplike, broadly concave.

Sculpture of mesoscutellum in female: predominantly longitudinally rugulose. Sculpture of oxter: with prominent smooth patch. Pilosity of metapleuron overlapping or arising within posteroventral quadrant in female: none; 1 seta. Color of fore wing in female: evenly colored throughout. Color of pilosity on lateral T2-T5 in female: T2 white, T3-T5 brown. Fine pilosity of lateral T1 in female: absent.
