Description: ♀: Bodylength 6-6.5 mm. Flagellawith 40-44 segments; 1 st flagellomeres length 5.8-6.1x width and 0.67x eye length; 2 nd flagellomeres length 3.5- 3.7x width. Temples moderately and roundly narrowed behind eyes, length 0.75x eye width. OOD 0.9-1.0. Face with coarse dense punctures, wide, sides slightly divergent ventrally, width 1.25-1.3x length of clypeus+face and 1.0-1.1x eye length. Clypeus with scattered punctures. Frons smooth, with scattered punctures; vertical orbits distinctly punctate. MI 0.2. Mandibles with two equal teeth. Malar spaces distinctly striate. Occipital carina complete medially (sometimes weak). Genal carinae reach the hypostomal ones far from mandibular bases. Mesoscutum densely punctate caudalmedially, with superficial punctures laterally; mesopleura with coarse dense punctures; metapleura with fine and moderately dense punctures. Area basalis trapezoid, length 1.5x width, confluent with area superomedia; area superomedia length c.1.8x width and 1.35x length of area petiolaris, costula in the middle; area petiolaris length 0.9-1.0x width. Hind femora length 4.3-5.3x height; hind metatarsi length 0.5x length of hind tibiae; hind claws with 5-6 long teeth in basal 2/3; distal fore tarsomeres slightly swollen, length 2.5- 2.6x width. Areolets shortly stalked; 2 nd recurrent veins proximal to their middle; nervuli interstitial; postnervuli intercepted in basal 0.3-0.4; pterostigma length 3.1-3.2x width, radial veins in their distal 0.7. 1 st tergite length 2.7x width; postpetiole length 1.5x width, sometimes with few rugae; 2 nd tergite length 0.9x width. Ovipositor sheaths length 6.3- 7.5x height and 0.9x length of hind metatarsi.
