Scape dark brown to black with base yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown to black. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus black; vertex metallic bluish-purple, golden-green inside ocellar triangle. Mesosoma golden-green with blue tinges. Legs with fore and hind coxae golden-green, mid coxa dark brown with metallic tinges; trochanters yellowish-brown; fore femur yellowish-brown with basal half dark brown, mid and hind femora yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green, Gt2-5 metallic purple medially and metallic bluish-green laterally, Gt6 metallic bluish-green, Gt
7 black with metallic blue tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with weak reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part. Occipital margin carinate.

Mesoscutellum with outer margin of submedian grooves absent, grooves curved and diverging towards posterior part; median part shiny with very weak reticulation with elongate meshes, lateral parts with strong reticulation with elongate meshes, with six scattered setae. Dorsellum with very weak sculpture, almost smooth, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands posteriorly; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with 5&8 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below and towards base of wing; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster ovate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with weak reticulation.
