Head strongly reticulate, only clypeus smooth; frontal sulcus absent; gena almost straight; clypeus convex, with anterior margin produced and distinctly curved (Fig. 8A ). Scape slender, 5.5 × as long as wide; pedicel slightly> 2 × as long as wide; F1 3.0-3.8 × as long as wide (including measurements from the original description, the same below), 1.5-2.0 × as long as pedicel, distinctly longer than F2; clava nearly as long as F1 (Fig. 8B ). Propodeum smooth and shiny (Fig. 8C ). Fore wing hyaline, costal cell bare, with anterior margin distinctly curved; speculum completely open below (Fig. 8D ). Metatibial spur long and slightly curved, nearly reaching apex of basal tarsomere (Fig. 8I ). Petiole longer than wide. Gaster shorter and wider than mesosoma.
