Venter of head with a distinct and complete median furrow, with each anterolateral corner forming a process (“alc” in Fig. 3). Clypeus posteriorly margined with a distinct continuous carina (“pcc” in Fig. 3); median part of clypeus rather clearly divided into posterior horizontal portion and anterior steep slope; the posterior portion broadly inserted between antennal sockets, extending anteriorly to the level of posterior margin of the sockets; lateral part of clypeus narrow from front to back. Mandibular base with closed trulleum (“trl” in Fig. 3). Labrum on its outer face with at least two rows of peg-like denticles, each with more than 10 denticles (“lpd” in Fig. 3). Eye absent. Frontal lobe absent. Antennal sockets completely exposed in full-face view, directing almost dorsad, located in a large, roundly excavated area whose anterior wall is steep just behind the posterior margin of clypeus; the area not clearly defined posteriorly.

Junction of dorsal and posterior faces of propodeum round without any transverse carina; posterior face of propodeum laterally without spines/carinae.
