Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.4 times as long as high; pronotal side smooth dorsally, moderately crenulate medially and granulate ventrally; precoxal sulcus only medially distinctly impressed and finely crenulate; mesopleuron mainly smooth; metapleuron superficially granulate (Fig. 73); mesoscutum smooth, except some punctulation; notauli narrow, shallow posteriorly and smooth; scutellar sulcus 0.5 times as long as scutellum and with one long crenula; scutellum smooth except some striae posteriorly; propodeum distinctly granulate dorsally, except carinate median areola, rugose medially and superficially granulate posteriorly (Figs 73, 74).
