Female. Body length 7.5 mm.

Head. Matt, not punctate, shagreen (Fig. 4C). Face 1.2 × as broad as eye height, flat, bulging (Fig. 4B).

Fore wing with R intercepting pterostigma before the middle (Fig. 4A); areolet not petiolate; vein 2m-cu of fore wing with single bulla. Vein cu-a of hind wing interstitial, with cu-a intercepted by Cu1 in the middle. Propodeum with only apical carina complete (Fig. 4E).

Metasoma. Matt, not punctate (Fig. 4F). Tergite 1 1.35 × as long as broad apically, convex, without longitudinal dorsal carinae (Fig. 4F). Tergite 2 transverse, trapezoidal (Fig. 4F). Following tergites also transverse. Ovipositor straight (Fig. 4G).

Maculae between antennal sockets and eye margin, ventral part of antenna, apical margin of clypeus, mandible except teeth, tegula, fore leg entirely, middle tibia and tarsus yellowish (Figs 4B, 4D).
