Description. Male. Head and mesosoma black; metasoma dark castaneous or black. Mandible with two apical teeth; clypeus broadly projected forward, median tooth ill defined; frons weakly coriaceous, punctate. Pronotal disc coriaceous. T2 without tergal process. Posterior hypopygeal margin weakly concave. Genitalia: paramere wide in dorsal view, apex serrate, invagination serrate in ventral view, smaller than basiparamere; cuspis very wide; digitus sickle-shaped; aedeagal ventral ramus smaller than dorsal body, base narrow, wide middle part, apex narrow, laminar; aedeagal dorsal body with two pairs apical lobes, apex weakly bifurcated in dorsal view, inner pair weakly membranous; basal bar wide; apodeme extending beyond genital ring. Female unknown.

Remarks. This species is allocated in amplus species-group by having the tergal process absent. This species not is similar other of species-group. This species is mainly different because has the aedeagal ventral ramus with wide middle part and apex narrow; aedeagal dorsal body with apex weakly bifurcated and aedeagal dorsal body with basal bar wide.
