All coxae black; fore and mid femora dark brown; fore and mid tibiae and tarsi yellow to yellowish brown; hind trochanter, femur dark brown. Hind trochantellus yellowish brown, hind tibia and tarsi yellow with apical dark brown bands. Metasomal tergite black and apical margin with dark brown lines. Ovipositor brown and ovipositor sheath dark brown.
Head: Face punctate with setae, convex; lower face (length of between antennal socket and apical clypeal margin) 0.73 times as long as wide; inner orbits of eyes subparallel; temple at the middle about as long as eye in lateral view. Frons without median longitudinal carina; clypeus separated from face by distinct deep groove. Mandible bidentate and acute, not rounded at apex; lower tooth slightly longer than upper tooth. Malar space short, 0.32 times as long as basal mandibular width. Antenna with 32 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 2.9 times as long as wide, apical flagellomere 1.2 times as long as wide.
Mesosoma: Pronotum slightly granulated. Scutellum moderately punctate, without lateral carinae. Mesoscutum with weak notauli. Speculum inpunctate and shiny. Propodeum with distinct areas, area basalis and area superomedia not separated and combined; costulae distinct only at basal.
