Male. Body length 7 mm. Head: inner eye margin slightly emarginate; flagellomere I 1.1 x as long as broad, flagellomere II 1.5 x as long as broad, flagellomere XI 2.6 –3.0x as long as broad; flagellomeres viii–x each with one tyloid; clypeal apical truncation slightly indented medially.

Punctation: body with dense small, contiguous punctures. Vestiture: silvery. Coloration: head, mesosoma and metasoma black, with pale yellow to whitish markings; clypeus usually without pale marks; mandible white with dark apex; underside of scapal apex whitish; whitish band along inner eye margin; flagellum blackish, not bicolored; small whitish spot behind eye near vertex; pronotum with wide transverse whitish band along posterior margin and ventral whitish spot; tegula and wing vein bases whitish; palps and tibial spurs whitish; tarsi pale red; tibiae, femoral apices and trochanters partly whitish to pale red; paramere dististyle brown.
