Mesoscutellum shiny, smooth, sloping anteriorly. Metanotum about coplanar to mesoscutellum, sloping anteriorly, granulate and reticulate rugose. Metapectal-propodeal disc dull, with long sparse setae, reticulate rugose and granulate; propodeal declivity strongly transversely striate, granulate and partly reticulate rugose. Mesopleuron dull, strongly transversely striate and granulate. Metapleuron dull, reticulate rugose. Meso-metapleural suture obsolete. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 26:4:8:21:35. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 223E ) without subdistal tooth, with one row of four lamellae and one bristle, with proximal half very broad.
