Mesosoma: mesoscutal lobes granulate; notauli scrobiculate, meeting posteriorly in large triangular costate area; scutellum weakly granulate; prescutellar furrow with 3–5 cross carinae; mesopleuron granulate; precoxal sulcus weakly smooth, shorter than mesopleuron; venter granulate; propodeum nearly horizontal, only gradually sloping posteriorly, basal median areas distinctly margined, granulate, basal median carina present, short, areola distinct, areolar area broadly areolate-rugose, lateral areas rugose posteriorly, granulate anteriorly. Wings: fore wing vein r shorter than vein 3RSa, width of stigma slightly greater than length of vein r, vein 1cu-a beyond vein 1M; hind wing vein SC+R absent, vein M+CU shorter than vein 1M. Metasoma: first metasomal tergum longitudinally costate-granulate, length slightly greater than apical width; second tergum longitudinal costate, width about 3 times median length; anterior transverse groove present, straight; posterior transverse groove absent; third tergum costate basally, smooth apically; terga 4–7 smooth; ovipositor half as long as metasoma.
