Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe rugose close to notauli; midlobe with a median groove in posterior two-thirds, with 16 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation and with a complete median groove, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and ±parallel; with ten setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum partly open below; costal setal row broken.
