Flagellum with 27 elongated segments, postannellus 3.75 as long as wide, 11 th segment 1.4 as long as wide. Eye irregularly elliptic, wider downwards. Inner eye orbitae weakly convergent down. Face and clypeus coarse punctured. Combined clypeus and face flat in lower part, face strongly convex in upper part, both conclude angle of 90 ○ ( Fig. 2 ). Mouth wider than face. Malar space 0.4 as long as mandible base.

Notaulus short but distinct. Metapleurum without hairs, shining. Nervulus strongly inclival and postfurcal. First radius 3.0 as long as second radius ( Fig. 3 ). Nervellus strongly inclival, intercepted in lower 0.25 ( Fig. 4 ). Hind femur 2.1 as long as wide. Inner spur of hind tibia 0.6 as long as apical width of tibia. Correlation between hind tarsal segments as 21:12:9:7:13. Propodeum without costula. Basal area not separated from areola ( Fig. 5 ). Propodeal spiracle elongated. First and second lateral area haired.
