Antenna with 41 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere pointed, slightly acuminate. Median flagellomeres 2 x longer than wide. Frons without sublateral carina near eye. Occipital carina complete, medio-dorsally produced into a point and giving rise to a distinct midlongitudinal carina on occiput, ventrally joining hypostomal carina. Mesopleuron largely aciculate, with superimosed rugulose sculpture anteriorly and dorsally, precoxal sulcus moderately deep, narrow, strongly vertically striate, speculum huge. Propodeum with complete midlongitudinal carina. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 2.2 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Fore wing vein 3-SR 2.1 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 2.25 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.15 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing vein m-cu represented by a weak pigmented line, slightly antefurcal. Apex of hind tibia without comb of modified setae medially. Claws with pecten of 7 or 8 long, fine, pale brown teeth on basal lobe, these splaying and distinctly separated, and the penultimate ones slightly longer.
