Head black, except mandible testaceous; antenna testa- ceous-brown; mesosoma black; metasoma brown; legs brown, except articulations, tarsi and protibia testaceous.

Head convex, dull, covered with short setae, completely reticulate rugose and granulate; frontal line complete; occipital carina complete; POL = 5; OL = 3; OOL = 5; OPL = 5; TL = 5. Mesoscutum dull, completely granulate and sculptured by numerous irregular keels. Notauli not visible among numerous keels; in few paratypes mesoscutum with slight tracks of notauli. Me- soscutellum shiny, reticulate rugose, with anterior half unsculptured (in specimen from Namibia, 21°55’S 18°11’E, mesoscutellum almost completely smooth, unsculptured). Metanotum dull, reticulate rugose (in specimen from Namibia, 21°55’S 18°11’E, metanotum shiny, unsculptured). Mesopleuron dull, reticulate rugose.
