Male
Total body length 7.5–8.5 mm. Head transverse, ca 1.2 times as wide as long; vertex well elevated with distance from top of head to upper margin of lateral ocellus approximately two lateral ocellar diameters as seen in frontal view and ca 3 as seen in dorsal view; antennae attain mesoscutellum, flagellomeres (from F2 onward) 1.2–1.3 times as long as wide, tyloids well developed, covering entire lateral flagellar surface and peripheral part of ventral one (with medial glabrous spot); ocello-ocular area areolate; face with dense plumose pubescence, below antennal sockets obscuring integument. Mesoscutum areolate-punctate (30–50 μm), mesoscutellum areolate with a few interspaces of at most a puncture diameter; propodeal triangle (metapostnotum) shorter than mesoscutellum, roughly reticulate-rugose; mesepisternum coarsely reticulate-rugose; legs red-brown. Metasomal terga densely punctate (15–25 μm / 0.5–3), T1 marginal zone punctured barely finer than on disc, impunctate along posterior margin; T2–T5 marginal zones impunctate; T1 red apically, T2–T3 mostly red.
