( Figs 27 View FIGURE 27 a–e, 32u)
Diagnosis. The female is well characterized and different from all other species of this group by the distinct punctation patterns on T1 (dispersed, shiny) and T2 (denser and finer, with punctures very fine and dense medially) ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 e) in combination with its relatively large body size and the lack of black hairs. The male is unknown.
Description. Female, BL= 10.5mm ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 a); head broader than long, HW: HL=62: 50 ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 b); gena narrower than eye in lateral view, GW: EW=9: 11; width of metasoma as broad as that between tegulae, MtW: TW=65: 65. Clypeus broader than long, with sparse and irregularly dispersed punctation ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 b); disc of scutum with irregularly dispersed punctation, i=1.0–2.0d ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 c); malar area medially shorter than the width of mandible base, about 2/3 long as the width of mandible base; facial fovea narrower than width of antennal flagellum; vertex behind eye rounded; propodeum laterally covered with sparse long erect hairs, integumental sculpture completely visible; disc of T1 shiny, finely and extremely dispersed punctate, i=1.5–4.0d, the size of punctation different ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 e); punctation on disc of T2 fine and dense medially ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 e); T1–T5 with apical hair bands ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 d), apical hair band on T1 medially uninterrupted, only narrowed ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 e), T2 without broad basal hair band, apical hair band on T2 nearly 1/3 width as the exposed T2 ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 d); sloping anterior and lateral anterior parts of T1 sparsely covered with erect long plumose hairs ( Figs. 27 View FIGURE 27 d, 27e). Antennal flagellum ventrally black ( Figs. 27 View FIGURE 27 a. 27b); tarsi of all legs blackish brown, other parts black. Face, vertex and scutum covered with yellowish brown erect long plumose hairs, pilosity on scutum not intermixed with black hairs ( Figs. 27 View FIGURE 27 a, 27c), mesepisternum covered with longer white plumose hairs ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 a).
