Wings with hair sparse, particularly basally; membrane of wings clear; tegulae translucent.

Mesosoma — Metanotum with a small median nodule; hind basitibial plate apically pointed, anterior margin less clearly defined than posterior margin. Metasoma— Width of metasoma broad, moderately dense with long shaggy hair, apical tergal margins clear, T7 bare medially; sternum covered in long, dense branched hair, S5 with apical fringe S6 with lateral tufts of hair.
