This species differs from the rest of species mentioned in this study by the following combination of traits: frontal carinae present, mesoscutum with weak transversal elements, notauli complete, scutellar foveae large and subquadrate, metasoma dorsodistally incised and with some posterodorosal punctures forming a patch.

Brief redescription. Female antenna 14-segmented, males unknown; F1 1.2 times as long as F2; malar space almost 0.6 times as long as height of compound eye; frons and vertex coriaceous, without punctures; frontal carinae weak, narrow and short; mesoscutum coriaceous with weak, discontinuous transversal elements; notauli complete, narrower and less impressed anteriorly; scutellum wrinkled; scutellar foveae large, subquadrate, weakly sculptured, shallow, separated by a narrow carina; circumscutellar carina weak; inferior half of mesopleurae regularly striate, superior half smooth; metasoma dorsodistally incised, not pointed and with some posterodorsal micropunctures forming a patch; radial cell closed, 2.4 times as long as wide; tarsal claws with a small basal tooth; body mainly black and reddish brown. For more details on the morphology of this species, see Pujade-Villar & Melika (2005).
