Laterad of clypeal centre, yellow marking reduced, two black triangular markings extending in towards the centre, giving marking a broad, inverted T-shape. In basal half, clypeus dull and shagreened, becoming shiny in apical half. Clypeal punctures shallow and irregular, separated by 2-5 puncture diameters. Process of labrum rectangular, twice as broad and long, shiny. Face, gena, and vertex with long white hairs, longest on underside of head, equalling length of the scape. Scape and pedicel black, following antennal segments dark brown to black, A3 longer than A4, shorter than A4+5 combined. Gena and ocelloccipital distance as in female.

Propodeal triangle weakly marked, scarcely differentiated from propodeum, shagreened, slightly shining laterally. Mesosoma with white hairs, sparse on scutum, denser and longer on episternum, exceeding length of scape. Legs dark, only final tarsal segment slightly lightened to dark brown, pubescence white.
