Head black, except mandible testaceous; antenna testaceous, except antennomeres 9–10 brown; mesosoma black, except tegula testaceous; metasoma brown; legs brown.

Mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and metanotum ( Fig. 71A) shiny, unsculptured. Notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.3 × length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron shiny, unsculptured. Metapleuron sculptured by slight transverse keels. Metapectal-propodeal disc with transverse posterior keel, reticulate rugose; propodeal declivity with two complete longitudinal keels, median area shiny, unsculptured and lateral areas shiny and very slightly rugose. Forewing ( Fig. 71D) hyaline, with one dark spot around 2r-rs&Rs vein; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much shorter than proximal part (4:8). Protarsomeres in following proportions: 7:2:2:2:10; protarsomere 3 produced into hook. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 67E) with proximal prominence bearing one long bristle.
