D e s c r i p t i o n:

Body length 5.5 mm. Flagella slender, slightly lanceolate, with more than 26 segments (tips broken off); 1 st flagellomeres length 5.0x width, widest flagellomeres 1.2x wider than long. Temples strongly and roundly narrowed behind eyes, length c.0.5x eye width. Distance of lateral ocelli to eyes 1.0x their diameter. Occiput with transversal granulation. Face, frons and clypeus with fine granulation and very fine punctation, matte. Inner margins of eyes slightly divergent ventrally. Clypeus strongly convex, with straight apical margin. Mandibles narrow and moderately bent inwards, with two teeth; lower teeth much smaller than upper ones. Malar spaces length 1.0x width of mandibular bases. Genal carinae joining hypostomal ones close to mandibular bases, obsolete ventrally; hypostomal carinae not elevated.

Mesosoma with fine whitish hairs. Sides of pronotum granulate, partly with very fine striae. Notauli impressed in frontal third of mesoscutum; mesoscutum and mesopleura completey and finely granulate and punctulate, matte. Sternauli slightly impressed. Metapleura with somewhat coarser punctures; coxal carinae weakly developed. Scutellum moderately elevated, punctate and granulate, with complete lateral carinae. Propodeum with roundish spiracles, completely carinate. Area superomedia hexagonal and about as long as wide; costulae in frontal seventh of area superomedia. Area petiolaris with lateral carinae, rugulose, partly with transversal rugae. Outer dentiparal edges with apophyses, these as long as wide. Hind coxae densely and finely rugose-punctate, without scopa. Hind femora densely punctate, length 4.9x height; hind tibiae without dentiform spurs externally. Claws not pectinate. Areolets almost quadrangular, frontal distance of intercubiti about 1x their diameter; nervuli interstitial.

Metasoma amblypygous. Petiolus wider than high; postpetiolus slightly widened, width c.0.6x distance of apophyses, without dorsal carinae; median field not elevated, finely rugose. 2 nd tergite as long as wide. Gastrocoeli not impressed; thyridiae slightly oblique, short, width 0.3x their interval. 2 nd tergite and basal 2/3 of 3 rd tergite granulate and matte; apical third of 3 rd tergite and following tergites superfically granulate, shining.

Colour: Black. Ivory are stripes on flagellomeres 7-10, frontal spots on fore and middle coxae, apical margins of fore and middle trochanters and 2 nd to 4 th hind tarsomeres. Cream-yellow are labrum, palps, sides of clypeus, facial and frontal orbits, roundish spots on vertices, collare, frontal margins ventrally and upper margins of pronotum, stripes on subtegular ridges, apical spot on scutellum. Metasoma blackish, with diffuse dark reddish-brown suffusion; narrow hind margins of 2 nd to 5 th tergites yellowishbrown, hind margin of 6 th tergite and complete 7 th tergite yellow. Coxae and trochanters black; legs otherwise reddish-brown; hind femora diffusely darkened in apical half; hind tibiae black in apical 0.3. Wings hyaline, pterostigmas brownish.
