Terminal antennomere inconspicuous. Antennae inserted at the lower line of compound eyes. Supraclypeal area shorter than clypeus, narrow. Face sculpture reticulate. Scrobe without a median longitudinal sulcus.
Mesosoma. Pronotum sculpture reticulate. Pronotum elongated, nearly twice as long as high in lateral view. Prosternal posterior margin medially acute. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum sculpture reticulate. Notauli complete. Frenal sulcus crenulated. Metascutellum short, inconspicuous. Anterior margin of propodeum crenulated.

Etymology.
The specific name is a tribute to our colleague and friend Kees Berg (2 July 1934-31 August 2012), for his excellent and unparalleled work on the taxonomy of fig trees.
Biology.
Reared from syconia of Ficus involucrata Blume.
