Diagnosis
Female
All funiculars wider than long; Fu3 smaller than both Fu2 and Fu4, but not anelliform ( Fig. 6C View Fig ); ventral margin of clypeus weakly convex ( Fig. 6B View Fig ); head in frontal view with gena buccate ( Fig. 6B View Fig ); hind tibia length about 8× width; gaster longer than combined length of head and mesosoma and strongly compressed laterally ( Fig. 6A View Fig ); tip of hypopygium incised ( Fig. 6F View Fig ); ovipositor sheath length about 0.9× length of hind tibia.
Male
Unknown.

Taxonomic comments
