Gaster with Gt 1 black with weak blue tinges, remaining tergites metallic purple; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle. Occipital margin with a sharp edge behind ocellar triangle.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a median groove, with four adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and diverging towards posterior part; with two pairs of setae on lateral parts, one pair medially and one pair close to posterior margin. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, without median carina. Propodeum with strong median carina; with strong reticulation; callus with six setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with three setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster ovate-elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a protruding and sharp transverse carina shaped like an inverted U embracing the heavily sculptured and transverse petiole, and with short longitudinal carinae from carina and pointing backwards; tergites with weak reticulation.
