Mesoscutellum shiny, smooth, flat. Metanotum short, transversely striate, about coplanar to mesoscutellum ( Fig. 174F ); sides of metanotum protruding, with pointed protrusions ( Fig. 174E ). Metapectal-propodeal disc shiny, almost bare, with top and anterior surface unsculptured; propodeal declivity, mesopleuron and metapleuron transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture distinct and complete. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 14:2.5:4:14:24. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 175E ) with one large subapical tooth and one row of eight lamellae + one bristle. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 175E ) with two rows of 5 + 9 lamellae; apex with at least 15 lamellae.
