Redescription. Based on the female specimen from Yunnan province (No202019715). Body length 9.3 mm, fore wing length 6.0 mm.
Head. Antenna with 42 flagellomeres; first flagellomere ca 1.4× length of second flagellomere. Face granulosepunctate (Fig. 4D). Clypeus granulose, convex, apical margin arched, reflexed (Fig. 4D). Malar space weakly granulose, ca 0.9× basal width of mandible. Upper tooth of mandible longer than lower tooth, with a weak lamella. Frons granulose-punctate and without median carina. Vertex granulose (Fig. 4E). Interocellar distance 1.3× ocelloocular distance and 2.0× distance between median and lateral ocelli; distance between lateral ocelli and eyes equal to diameter of ocellus (Fig. 4E). Temple mat, ca 0.5× as long as eyes in lateral view. Occipital carina evenly arched, reaching hypostomal carina at mandible base.
Mesosoma. Pronotum granulose dorsally and transversely striate ventrally. Mesoscutum granulose-punctate, rugose on notaulic area (Fig. 4F). Scutellum and metanotum rugulose-punctate. Mesopleuron rugose-reticulate, speculum granulose(Fig.4B).Metapleuron rugose-reticulate,rugosity denser on juxtacoxal area(Fig.4B).Propodeum (Fig. 4C) with area basalis triangular; area superomedia long and narrow, rugose, lateromedian longitudinal carina strongly developed; area superomedia confluent with area petiolaris; area petiolaris rugose-reticulate; area external granulose-punctate; area dentipara rugose-punctate; area lateralis rugulose; costula developed; lateral longitudinal carina developed; propodeal spiracle oval.
