Mesoscutellum with very weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; median groove indicated but indistinct; submedian grooves distinct in posterior half, indistinct in anterior half, straight and ±parallel, subdivided by transverse carinae; with five setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, without median carina. Propodeum with a wide median carina that expands in anterior and posterior parts; median part with strong irregular carinae and lateral parts with strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with 3&4 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
