Head as long as wide; frons weakly coriaceus; ocelli distinct; eye glabrous; median clypeal lobe conspicuous, longer than lateral ones; antenna with 13 segments, scape 2.4 × longer than pedicel, pedicel longer than first flagellomere. Pronotum polished; mesonotum shorter than pronotal dorsal area; notauli absent; mesoscuto-mesoscutellar suture sulcate, posterior margin incurved. Metapectal-propodeal disc longer than wide; metapostnotal median carina absent; first abdominal spiracle laterally placed. Wings nearly hyaline; forewing with pterostigma light brown; hind wing with four hamuli. Metasoma polished. Male. Unknown.
Material examined. Holotype: [ INDIA, Assam,] Makun, Lakhimpur, ex: Morus laevigata , emerged along with Pilinus { Ptilinus } binodulus Motschulsky (Fam. Anobiidae ), 24-XII-1941, R. R.D. 981, HCR 88, Cage 809, C.F.C. Beeson coll.
Type conditions. Holotype partly dissected on slide and remaining rested on the pin. Head is missing. Pinned: mesosoma and metasoma. On slides : S1 C1—one proleg; two mesolegs; two metalegs—one with tibia and tarsi separated other with coxa separated; one antenna. S2 C1—two forewings; one hind wing; antenna with scape, pedicel and one flagellomere.
