Median clypeal lobe convex; apical margin strongly medially ventrad, with median tooth conspicuous; carina high, arched in profile. Antennal torulus strongly prominent. Flagellomeres median-sized; four first antennomeres in ratio about 13:3:5:5; pedicel short, 1.20 × as long as wide; flagellomere I 2.30 × as long as wide; flagellomere IX 2.0 × as long as wide; flagellar pubescence suberect and erect, about half of diameter of flagellomeres. Frons polished; densely punctate. WH 1.0 × LH. WF 0.70 × WH. WF 1.52 × HE. Eye small, salient; pilosity abundant. Ocellus small. DAO 0.15 × WF; frontal angle of ocellar triangle acute. WOT 3.0 × DAO. OOL 1.37 × WOT. Distance of posterior ocellus to vertex crest 1.66 × DAO. VOL 1.0 × HE. Temple parallel. Vertex straight. Occipital carina complete, not visible in dorsal view.
Mesosoma (Figs 22, 39). Pronotal disc and mesonotum polished; densely punctate. Pronotal collar long. Pronotal declivity low. Pronotal disc 2.0 × as long as wide. Notauli strongly conspicuous; complete; convergent. Parapsidal furrow complete. Scutellar furrow long, slender, shallow, scrobiculate, posterior margin straight. Median region of scutellum not punctate. Median region of metanotum short, wide. Inner foveae of metanotal furrow not delimited. Propodeal disc 0.90 × as long as wide; 0.65 × as high as long; basal triangle conspicuous, rugulose, otherwise disc strigulate; median carina absent; paramedian carina conspicuous, long; lateral carina conspicuous; sublateral carina absent; transversal carina absent; declivity slightly strigulate; side of propodeum polished. Mesopleuron polished; callus absent; fovea shallow; mesopleural pit absent. Metacarpus 0.34 × radial vein; discoidal vein strongly pigmented, not interstitial with median; first recurrent slightly pigmented; subdiscoidal vein strongly pigmented.
Metasoma. Hypopygium (Fig.42) 1.13 × as long as wide; posterior margin strongly trilobate; median lobe angulate, wide; lateral lobe convex, very short; lateral margin convergent; anterior pigmented line ill-defined, wide; median stalk long; lateral stalk present, spiniform, conspicuous. Genitalia (Figs 59–62): aedeagus basally wide and narrowing apicad; apical margin of ventral paramere convex; dorsal paramere as wide as ventral one, glabrous; basivolsella slightly excavated; inner margin of cuspis convex; genital ring short.
FEMALE unknown.
