Head black, except mandible, clypeus, part of malar space and small central spot near anterior margin of face testaceous-whitish; occasionally head black, except only mandible and clypeus testaceous; antenna brown, except segments 1–2 testaceous; mesosoma black; metasoma brown; legs testaceous, except metacoxa partly black and club of metafemur darkened. Antenna clavate; antennal segments in following proportions: 10:5:20:15:12:10:8:7.5:7:10.5. Head dull, reticulate rugose; face with wide, shiny, punctate and not rugose area in front of anterior ocellus and laterally almost reacheing inner margin of eyes; frontal line complete; occipital carina complete; POL = 4.5; OL = 2; OOL = 8; OPL = 7; TL = 11; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli longer than OL (3:2). Pronotum dull, reticulate rugose, short and transverse. Scutum with anterior half dull and reticulate rugose; posterior half punctate and unsculptured among punctures. Notauli complete, posteriorly separated; minimum distance between notauli longer than OL (10:2). Scutellum shiny, punctate and unsculptured among punctures. Metanotum dull, rugose. Propodeum dull, reticulate rugose, without transverse or longitudinal keels. Fore wing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of stigmal vein shorter than proximal part (6:9.5). Protarsal segments in following proportions: 22:4:4:13:19. Enlarged claw (Plate 14C) with one subapical tooth, without lamellae, bristles or hairs. Segment 5 of protarsus (Plate 14C) with one row of approximately 50 small lamellae; distal apex with approximately five lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.
