(figures 43, 109, 122)  
 Etymology. Because of the mid-longitudinal carina of the first tergite.   
 Type material. HOLOTYPE, „ (USNM): Philippines: Mindanao, Butuan, 1957 (Baker).   
Holotype, „, length of body 9 mm, of fore wing 8 mm.  
 Head. Remaining antennal segments 54, length of antenna 1.6 times fore wing, length of third segment 1.2 times fourth, lengths of third and fourth segments 2.75 and 2.25 times their maximal widths, respectively; eyes glabrous; length of eye in dorsal view twice temple; temple punctate, directly narrowed posteriorly; OOL: diameter of ocellus: POL~3.0:2.0:1.0; frons smooth medially; vertex convex, flattened near stemmaticum; face flattened in lateral view; clypeus flattened in lateral view, punctate; maxillary palp 1.2 times height of head; malar suture present; occipital flange straight ventrally and rounded posteriorly (figure 122).   
 Mesosoma (figure 109). Length of mesosoma 1.27 times its maximal height; side of pronotum crenulate medially, punctate posteriorly near tegula, weakly coriaceous ventrally, and remainder smooth; mesopleuron smooth, sparsely punctate beside precoxal sulcus; precoxal sulcus complete crenulate posteriorly and punctate anteriorly; metapleuron punctate; mesoscutum sparsely punctate; notauli punctate; mesoscutum with some short longitudinal rugae at junction of notauli; scutellar sulcus with three longitudinal carinae; scutellum convex and punctate; propodeum medially convex in lateral view, completely with irregular sculpture (vermiculate rugae); metapleural flange reduced and acute.   
 Wings. Fore wing: r: SR1z3-SR~16:60; 2-SR: r-m~17:11; second submarginal cell sessile; subbasal cell glabrous anteriorly; vein 3-CU1 2.5 times longer than vein CU1b. Hind wing: 2-M coloured; membrane largely glabrous basally.

 Metasoma. First tergite angled before spiracle, 3.0 times longer than apically wide, coriaceous and shiny with a mid-longitudinal carina (figure 43), flattened in lateral view; spiracles strongly protruding; second tergite smooth; T2 1.2 times longer than T3; second suture smooth, straight.   
 Colour. Blackish. Frons, vertex, temple, mesosoma (except metanotum and a faint transverse posterior band on propodeum), apical 0.7 of T1, remainder of tergites, hind coxa, hind femur, third apical of hind tibia, hind tibial spurs, basal 0.2 of hind basitarsus, apical 0.5 of mid tarsus, telotarsus, apical patch of fore wing (0.15 of marginal cell) brownish black; face, antennal segments, fore and mid tibia, metanotum brownish; basal 0.5 of mid tarsus, basal 0.65 of hind tibia, basal 0.3 of T1, S1–S3 yellowish; hind basitarsus and other hind tarsus telotarsus except pale yellowish.
