The female of this species is characterized by the black hind coxae; short, parallel to weakly narrowed temples; strongly sculptured mesoscutum; densely punctate mesopleuron with partly rugulo-punctate speculum (Fig. 3. 3); propodeum with sometimes indistinct costulae distally and area superomedia as wide as area basalis (Fig. 4. 9); and ovipositor which is about 1.3–1.7 × the length of hind tibia. The male generally resembles female and has yellow face and partly yellow temples.
