Female. Head finely granulate above; mesosomal dorsum and posterior surface of propodeum densely and finely punctate; sides of mesosoma mostly delicately shagreened; first two metasomal terga with fine, subcontiguous punctures, microsculpture similar to that on mesosomal dorsum; third to fifth terga more sparsely punctate; sixth terga finely shagreened; second sternum with larger subcontiguous punctures, following sterna with small subcontiguous punctures.
