Antenna clavate; antennomeres in following proportions: 5:3:5:4:4:4:4:4:4:6. Head dull, completely granulate; frontal line complete; occipital carina complete; POL = 4; OL = 3; OOL = 5; OPL = 4; TL = 4. Pronotum dull, completely granulate; posterior surface flat, slightly shorter than mesoscutum (8:9). Mesoscutum dull, completely granulate, with some evanescent areolae near lateral margins. Notauli absent. Mesoscutellum dull, strongly or slightly granulate. Metanotum shiny, unsculptured. Metapectal-propodeal disc with strong transverse posterior keel, reticulate rugose; propodeal declivity reticulate rugose, without longitudinal keels. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much shorter than proximal part (3:6). Protarsomeres in following proportions: 5:1.5:2:6:12.
