Pronotum shiny, reticulate rugose, except posterior margin smooth; posterior surface much shorter than mesoscutum (5:15); pronotal tubercle reaching tegula. Mesoscutum dull, granulate. Notauli slightly visible, incomplete, reaching about 0.25 × length of mesoscutum. Mesoscutellum and metanotum shiny, unsculptured. Mesopleuron and metapleuron dull, reticulate rugose. Metapectal-propodeal disc dull, with a transverse posterior keel, strongly reticulate rugose; propodeal declivity completely strongly reticulate rugose, with two tracks of complete longitudinal keels.
