Temples narrow, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Ocelli small, distance of lateral ocelli to eyes 1.0-1.1x and between them 1.8-2.4x their diameter. Face moderately narrowed ventrally, finely rugose-punctate, minimal width 0.67x eye length. Malar space length 0.4-0.5x width of mandibular bases. Genal carinae not bent outwards and obsolete ventrally, reaching hypostomal carinae far from mandibular bases in acute angle of 70°. Hypostomal carinae ± elevated.
Mesopleural discs granulate or finely rugose, with ± distinct punctures; specula granulate, matte; dorsal impressions with moderately dense striae. Prepectal carina not elevated and absent on the transversal parts. Metapleura finely rugose; coxal carinae partly developed. Scutellum wider than long, with lateral carinae in basal 0.3. Propodeum with complete but fine carinae; area superomedia very wide (2x); area petiolaris moderately but very widely impressed, with irregular transversal rugae. Hind femora length 4.7x width; length of inner spurs of hind tibiae 0.7x hind metatarsus length. Areolets pointed or stalked, 2 nd recurrent veins distal of middle; nervuli postfurcal; postnervuli intercepted behind the middle; external angles of discoidal cells c.90°; nervelli of hind wing not intercepted. 2 nd tergite length 1.3-1.45x width, 3 rd tergite length 0.8-0.95x width.
Colour: Black. Palps and tegulae yellowish. Mandibles black. 2 nd tergite subapically, 3 rd tergite completely and 4 th tergite in basal 2/3 reddish. All coxae and trochanters black; legs otherwise reddish; hind femora sometimes infuscate apically; hind tibiae reddish, with basal ivory ring, infuscate subbasally and in apical 0.1-0.2; hind tarsi except basal ivory spots on metatarsi blackish. Pterostigmata brown.
