Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel brown, flagellum dark brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Thoracic dorsum metallic bluish-green. Legs with coxae metallic bluish-green; trochanters yellowish-brown; fore and mid femora with basal half dark brown and apical half yellowish-brown, hind femur with basal two-thirds golden-green and apical one-third yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown.

Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation on median part and with a weak median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves with outer margin indistinct, slightly curved and diverging towards both anterior and posterior parts; with nine setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with weak sculpture and shiny, with median carina. Propodeum with strong reticulation; callus with five setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with five setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
