. Mesoscutum evenly, finely and shallowly punctate, less distinctly so posteriorly, without noticeable metallic sheen; width just anterior to tegulae just barely greater than that of head. Scutoscutellar scrobe composed of approximately 15 fine crenulations, nearly straight medially. Scutellar disc slightly longer than anteriorly broad, distinctly but shallowly punctate. Metanotum weakly retracted from scutellum; sublateral setiferous lobes not prominent; transverse carinae at about midlength on either side setting off small, transverse depressions crossed by several short carinae. Propodeum mostly evenly and finely aciculorugose, with superimposed ridges posteriorly, radiating from nucha; width twice maximum length.
