Diagnosis. Male (Fig. 80). Frons (Figs 81, 82) with a smooth subtriangular area corresponding to anterior ocellus, and remains with dense and coarse punctures; POD: OOD=1 (Fig. 82); pronotal (Fig. 83) carina degenerated; dorsal surface of propodeum (Fig. 84) densely reticulo-punctate, dorsum without clear boundary between horizontal and posterior surface; metasoma without light spots, and with minute and sparse punctures; each of T1–T6 subapically with a row of punctures and medially absent forming incomplete groove; T7 (Fig. 85) densely punctate and medially smooth and impunctate; apex of T7 with a U-shaped notch, and tipped lobes pointed.

Female. Head 1.2× wider than high; width of pronotum 1.3× its length; width of propodeum 1.4× its length, dorsum without distinctly horizontal and vertical surface; dorsum of propodeum medially with sparse punctures, punctures on lateral side denser than those on dorsum; L Tap5 / L Tap4 about 1.2; metasomal tergum with very sparse (PIS 3–6× Pd) and minute punctures; each of T1–T4 subapically with a row of punctures and medially absent forming incomplete groove; T5–T6 without subapical groove. No female specimens were collected in our study, so the description is referring to Gorbatovsky (1980).

Distribution. China (Gansu, Inner Mongolia); Mongolia; Russia.
