Black; mandible testaceous; clypeus black, except ferruginous spot; antenna testaceous, except antennomeres 5–10 darkened; tegula testaceous; metasoma brown; legs yellow. Antenna clavate; antennomeres in following proportions: 13:8:15:12:11:10:10.5:10:10:14. Head slightly convex, shiny, punctate, unsculptured among punctures, with anterior two thirds of frons dull and reticulate rugose; vertex with many short longitudinal keels situated around occipital carina; frontal line complete; frons with two lateral keels near orbits and directed towards antennal toruli; occipital carina complete; POL = 5.5; OL = 4.5; OOL = 5; OPL = 5; TL = 4.5; greatest breadth of lateral ocelli shorter than OL (3.5:4.5). Pronotum with anterior surface dull and strongly transversely striate; posterior surface shiny, finely punctate, unsculptured among punctures; pronotal tubercle reaching tegula; posterior surface of pronotum much shorter than mesoscutum (10:21). Mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and metanotum shiny, finely punctate, unsculptured among punctures. Notauli incomplete, very long, almost reaching posterior margin of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron with anterior surface rugose and propodeal declivity punctate, unsculptured among punctures. Metapleuron strongly transversely striate. Metapectal-propodeal disc with a transverse posterior keel, reticulate rugose; propodeal declivity with two complete longitudinal keels; median area mostly smooth, with some keels around margins; lateral areas rugose. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much shorter than proximal part (7:13.5). Protarsomeres in following proportions: 12:4:4:7:25; protarsomere 3 produced into a hook. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 79D ) with proximal prominence bearing one long bristle. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 79D ) with two rows of 36 (larger) + 14 (slender) lamellae; apex with about 9 lamellae. Basal part of protarsomere 5 longer than distal part (16:9) and than protarsomere 4 (16:7). Tibial spurs 1/1/2.
