Scape yellowish-brown with apical one-quarter dark brown, pedicel and flagellum black. Head with frons metallic greenish-blue, antennal scrobes black with metallic tinges and clypeus black; vertex black with metallic blue tinges. Mesoscutum black with metallic green and purple tinges; mesoscutellum and propodeum golden-red.

Mesoscutellum with submedian grooves subdivided by transverse carinae and with outer margin indistinct, median part with weak reticulation with elongate meshes and a weak median carina, lateral parts with very strong reticulation, with elongate meshes; with 15 setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a wide median carina that is expanded posteriorly; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with seven setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below and towards base of wing; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal surface. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
