Diagnosis. Vertex without median groove ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 2 – 7 ); pronotal collar carina very weak ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 2 – 7 ); scutellum with a deep and distinct median groove extending along entire length ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 2 – 7 ); propodeum without median carina ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 2 – 7 ); coxae white; petiole about as long as wide; first gastral tergite covering about 1/3 of gaster.

Mesonotum with a more or less triangular fovea medially between mesoscutum and scutellum ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 2 – 7 ). Pronotal collar with transverse carina very weak ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 2 – 7 ). Midlobe of mesoscutum anteriorly with weak transverse striae ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 2 – 7 ), posterior part of midlobe with very weak engraved reticulation, sidelobes with very weak engraved reticulation posteriorly, otherwise smooth and shiny.
