Male: Body length 18.8-24.5 mm. Body black, but the following are orange: mandible from base up to base of inner tooth, clypeus along free margin, fore- and at least partially midfemur, posterior half of tegula. Wing membrane almost completely hyaline, wing veins dark brown. Free clypeal margin straight or minimally convex. Appressed pubescence and erect setae on clypeus and frons silvery-white. Clypeus with medial glabrous stripe. Distance between hind- ocelli equal to or slightly smaller than their shortest distance to compound eyes. Pubescence on mesosoma silvery-white, on scutum denser laterally and posteriorly. Scutellum convex, with distinct medial impression. Pubescence on propodeal enclosure short, not completely concealing sculpture. Length of petiole 1.3
