Metasomal tergum 2 posteriorly and tergum 3 with band of dense yellow setae. Felt line on tergum 2 about 3 × as long as that on sternum 2. Volsellar cuspis apex with short sparse setae; penial valve apically hook-like. Head and metasoma black; mesosoma ferruginous-red, except sterna and inferior part of mesopleuron black; legs black. Body length 10.0– 15.3 mm. FEMALE unknown.
Material examined. CHINA: Fujian, Wuyishan, 7.IX.1989, Wang Jiashe, 1♂, No. 964046 [ZJUH]; Wuyishan, 1.X.1989, Wang Jiashe, 1♂, No. 964294 [ZJUH]; Jiangxi, Guling, VIII.1936, 3 ♂, O. Piel, Nos. 34023241, 34023244, 34023245 [SEMS]; Sichuan, Emeishan, 8.VIII.1980, He Junhua, 1♂, No. 802912 [ZJUH].
