Diagnosis. Male. Metapleuron smooth with strong transverse striae in upper part ( Figs. 14, 22 View FIGURES 11–22 ); propodeum laterally (near metapleuron) striate ( Figs. 14, 22 View FIGURES 11–22 ); propodeum less strongly punctate with microsculptures ( Figs. 14, 22 View FIGURES 11–22 ); legs yellow with femora and tibia slightly testaceous; parapenial lobe of basiparamere apically modified, capitate ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 11–22 ). Female. Head finely granulate above; mesosomal dorsum and posterior surface of propodeum densely and finely punctate; sides of mesosoma mostly delicately shagreened; first two metasomal terga with fine, subcontiguous punctures, microsculpture similar to that on mesosomal dorsum; third to fifth terga more sparsely punctate; sixth terga finely shagreened; second sternum with larger subcontiguous punctures, following sterna with small subcontiguous punctures.

Distribution. India (new record): Kerala; Sri Lanka.

Remark. The specimen from Elanad ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 11–22 ) has more yellow colour than that from the East Hill specimens, specifically it has the mesocoxa and apex of metacoxa yellowish. The antennal scape is dark brown in the East Hill specimens but brownish yellow in the Elanad specimen.
