Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 1100); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 618) with weak reticulation on median part and with a weak median groove in anterior two-thirds, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct, straight and parallel; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 618) medially with a few strong irregular carinae, laterally with strong reticulation, callus with six setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal surface; gaster (Fig. 618) 3.1× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal sharp edges laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.
