Body length 4.0 – 4.5 mm, fore wing length 3.4–3.6 mm and antenna length 5.3 mm.

Antenna with 46 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere weakly acuminate. Median flagellomeres approximately as long as wide. Occipital carina complete, dorsally rounded, ventrally slightly reduced but joining hypostomal carina. Mesopleuron shiny, moderately punctate, antero-dorsally with strong longitudinally striate sculpture interspersed with deeper punctures, precoxal sulcus short, deep, narrow with approximately 5 short vertical carinae, episternal scrobe moderately large and deep, specular area not differentiated, punctate. Midlongitudinal carina of propodeum present on anterior 0.5 of propodeum only. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 1.9 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Fore wing vein 3-SR 1.85 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 3 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.15 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell weakly setose on anterior half. Hind wing vein m-cu absent. Apex of hind tibia without comb of modified adpressed setae. Claws without conspicuous pecten. Basal lobes of 1 st tergite very large, convex anteriorly, steeply concave posterorly. Midlongitudinal carina of 3 rd tergite absent.

Antennae brown yellow basally gradually becoming black, flagellomeres 26–35 (♀) white.
