Description. Body length 4.00 mm. Color. Head, mesosoma and metasoma castaneous; antenna, mandible, palpi and legs light castaneous.
Head ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1–8 ). Mandible with three apical teeth ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1–8 ). Clypeus with median lobe projected, apical margin subangulate, median carina high, forming keel in lateral view. Antenna compact ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1–8 ); first four antennal segments in ratio of about 40:8:8:7; segment III 1.25× as wide as long; segment XI 1.71× as wide as long. Frons coriaceous with large punctures separated each other by about 1.0× own diameter. Eye reduced and circular. Ocelli absent. WH 0.73× LH; WF 0.89× WH; WF 9.17× HE; VOL 12.33× HE. Temple convex in dorsal profile. Vertex slightly convex, corner rounded. Occipital carina complete, not visible in dorsal view.

Mesonotum short, triangular, not divided into mesoscutum and scutellum; without notaulus, parapsidal furrow, groove or pits. Metanotum absent medially. Propodeal disc 1.55× as long as wide; maximum width of propodeum about 1.57× width at constriction; transverse carina and discal carinae absent, lateral carina defined; spiracle circular, located on lateral of propodeum; declivity without median and lateral carinae. Mesopleuron large in dorsal view; weakly coriaceous; upper groove present; episternal furrow, mesopleural pit, anterior fovea and prepectal and postpectal carinae absent ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1–8 ). Tegula and wings absent. Fore femur 2.5× as long as wide; fore tibia not spinose; fore basitarsus with some spines on distal margin ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1–8 ).
