Head testaceous-reddish; antenna brown, except scape and pedicel testaceous; pronotum and mesoscutum testaceous-reddish, except lateral regions darkened; rest of mesosoma black, except distal extremity of propodeal declivity reddish and some reddish nuances on metanotum; petiole black; metasoma brown-reddish; legs testaceous-reddish. Head very excavated, dull, granulate; occipital carina incomplete, only shortly present on sides of lateral ocelli; temple very long; frontal line hardly visible, apparently complete; POL = 3; OL = 5; OOL = 21. Palpal formula 4/2. Pronotum dull, granulate, crossed by strong transverse impression. Mesoscutum very long and slender ( Fig. 229B ), about 3–4 × as long as broad, dull, granulate, without lateral pointed apophyses. Mesoscutellum not visible. Metanotum with sides rounded, about coplanar to mesoscutellum. Metapectal-propodeal disc dull, granulate; propodeal declivity granulate, not transversely striate; mesopleuron and metapleuron not transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture obsolete. Protarsomere 1 slightly shorter than 4 (15:17). Enlarged claw ( Fig. 223B ) with one small subapical tooth and one row of seven peg-like setae. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 223B ) with inner side proximally serrate, with one row of 17 lamellae; apex with approximately 12 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
