Mesoscutellum with very strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric; submedian grooves indistinct, lateral parts with ten scattered setae. Dorsellum with very weak reticulation and shiny, with median carina. Propodeum with median carina that expands posteriorly; with a mix of strong irregular carinae and reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with five setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate-ovate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with very strong reticulation with large meshes.
