Transverse in dorsal view, 1.30–1.56× as wide as long, slightly wider than mesosoma; OOL short, 0.13–0.29× minimum ocellar width; POL 1.36–1.58× LOL; occipital carina weakly continuous medially, irregularly punctate; central keel absent (Plates 8C, 10C); medial frons contiguously punctate ventrally, with irregularly shaped smooth area dorsally; frons below median ocellus contiguously punctate; vertex densely punctate, interspaces in part with microsculpture; gena punctate rugose; length of A3 1.00–1.12× length of A2.
Mesosoma. Cervical pronotal area densely punctate; dorsal pronotal area areolate; lateral pronotal area smooth dorsally, punctate rugulose ventrally; netrion punctate rugulose; notaulus distinctly foveolate; middle lobe of mesoscutum densely punctate, becoming denser anteriorly and posteriorly; lateral lobes of mesoscutum irregularly punctate; mesoscutellum densely finely punctate throughout; metascutellum transverse, posterior margin straight, longitudinally carinate (Plates 8A, 10A); propodeum continuous medially (Plates 8A, 10A), not divided into two separated lobes, posterior margin narrowly notched medially, each side with several irregular longitudinal carinae medially, otherwise punctate rugulose, covered by dense, recumbent, white setae; upper mesepisternum with a row of somewhat robust longitudinal carinae below subalar pit; lower mesepisternum longitudinally punctate rugulose; mesopleural depression smooth or finely longitudinally striate (Plates 8B, 10B); metapleuron longitudinally striate dorsoventrally, punctate rugulose medially.
Legs. Slender; hind femur weakly swollen, 3.75–3.95× as long as its maximum width; hind tibia without spines over outer surface; hind basitarsus 10.83–11.60× as long as its maximum width.

Metasoma. Posterior margin of transverse sulcus on T2 slightly convex (Plates 8F, 10F); sublateral tergal carinae developed on T1–T4; T1–T4 densely longitudinally striate medially, with numerous delicate punctures in interstices, punctate rugulose laterally; T5–T7 longitudinally punctate rugulose throughout; T6 distinctly wider than long; length of T6 2.33–3.00× length of T7; T7 transverse, apex truncate (Plates 8D, 10D); length of T7 0.64–0.88× length of S7; S2–S5 sparsely longitudinally striate, with numerous delicate punctures in interstices; S6–S7 weakly punctate rugulose; prominent longitudinal median carinae present on S2–S5.
Female. Unknown.
