Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle and with a carina between posterior ocelli. Occipital margin with a carina behind ocellar triangle.

Pronotum with very strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric, with posterior margin smooth. Mesoscutum with very strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric, with numerous scattered setae all over surface; midlobe with very strong short longitudinal carinae, without median groove. Mesoscutellum with same sculpture and setation as midlobe of mesoscutum; without submedian grooves. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with an indistinct median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.

Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster ovate-elongate; Gt 1 with weak reticulation and shiny, remaining tergites with strong reticulation.

Material examined.

Holotype ♀ COSTA RICA, Puntarenas, San Vito, Las Cruces , 8º47’N, 82º58’W, 1000-1300m, 7-19.ii.2007, swept, C. Hansson ( MZLU) . Paratypes (2♀, NHMUK) : 1♀ from same locality as holotype but collected 15-16.ii.2006 ; 1♀ COSTA RICA, Puntarenas, Parque Nacional Corcovado, Sirena, 8º29’N, 83º35’W, 5m, 19-20.ii.2004, J.S. Noyes.

Etymology. From the Latin scabiosus = rough, scurfy, referring to the rough sculpture on midlobe of mesosutum and mesoscutellum.
