Synthorax deep metallic green with weakly contrasting brownish yellow areas on anterior half of mesepisternum and centres of mesepimeron, metepisternum and metepimeron: metallic areas are much wider than the pale areas between them making entire synthorax almost uniformly green. Mesokatepisternum, metakatepisternum and synthoracic venter brownish yellow with metallic green lustre; poststernum posteriorly dark. Synthorax covered with dense pale long hairs, especially long on mesepisternum; shorter, darker and denser hairs on antealar sinus. Legs black save for yellow coxae and a hint at base of fore femora. Keels present on anterior face of apical half of fore tibiae and almost whole length of hind tibiae (just falling short of their bases), but absent on middle tibiae. Venation blackish.
