Hind margin of metanotum with triangle projections opposite lateral longitudinal carinae. Propodeum from lateral of broken type with convex horizontal part, its horizontal part 1,5 times shorter than area posteromedia in middle; all carinae of propodeum sharp; basal area fairly long, convex with distinct knoll; area superomedia hexagonal, with equal length and breadth, rounded from costulae anteriad; costulae in middle of area superomedia; areae dentiparae at apices without denticles but carinae closing area dentipara and area spiraculifera at apex distinctly broadened; spiracles elongated, 2 times longer than breadth; area superoexterna and area dentipara with big punctures, area spiraculifera wrinkly-punctured; metapleurae with big irregular punctures. Surface of propodeum from polished to polished with indistinct granulated sculpture at area of area superomedia (paratype).
