Morphology.

Head. Face swollen, 1.2 times as long as wide in frontal view. Occipital carina strong from above and laterally. Frons with moderately coarse and dense punctures. Diameter of lateral ocellus equal to distance between ocellus and eye. Flagellum thickened in basal half, tapered to apex, with 42 + (antenna broken) flagellomeres. First flagellomere as long as wide, next flagellomere transverse and last several flagellomeres square. Clypeus not separated from face. Face moderately punctate, distance between punctures equal to their diameter. Malar space 0.6 times as long as basal width of mandible. Gena acuminate in frontal view (Fig. 3D, dotted line and arrow).

Mesosoma. Flattened, 2.0 times as long as high in lateral view. Lower part of pronotum smooth, impunctate, epomia weak. Pronotum rounded in dorsal view (Fig. 3E, dotted line and arrow). Mesoscutum elongate with sparse punctures, rounded in lateral view (Fig. 3F, dotted line and arrow), notaulus weak. Scutellum flat with lateral carinae. Epicnemial carina strong, reaching subtegular ridge. Areolet of fore wing present, with stalk shorter than vein 2rs-m; fore wing vein cu-a curved (Fig. 3H). Hind wing with 11 distal hamuli. Nervellus inclivous, intercepted distinctly below middle. Legs very stout. Hind femur coarsely punctate, 3.0 times as long as wide. Spurs of mid leg with of equal length. Tarsomeres 2-4 of fore leg shorter than wide. Propodeum with very strong median longitudinal and apical transverse carinae. Combined basal area and area superomedia convergent apically. Basal area not separated from carina. Costula absent. Propodeal spiracle 3.7 times as long as wide, joining pleural carina.

Metasoma. Median dorsal carinae of first tergite very strong, extending to 2/3 its length. Second tergite 0.7 times as long as wide. Metasoma covered with rather long hairs.
