Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a solid clava (Fig. 653); genal carina short, present close to mouth opening; mesoscutellum with submedian grooves indistinct and diverging towards posterior part (Fig. 652); dorsellum without median carina (Fig. 652); hind coxa without carina along posterior margin; propodeum with strong reticulation, callus with two setae; gaster 2.6× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with upper margin rounded, without transverse edge/carina or incision, tergites with strong reticulation (Fig. 652).
