Diagnosis. Female. Frontovertex less than one-third head width; occipital margin sharp; posterior ocelli closer to eye margin than to occipital margin; eyes reaching occiput posteriorly; malar sulcus present; facial impression moderately deep, with rounded lateral margins; toruli with their ventral margins below level of lower margins of eyes. Mandible with two teeth and a truncation. Maxillary palp 4-segmented, labial palp 3-segmented. Antennal formula, 1, 1, 6, 3; scape cylindrical, several times longer than broad; F1 at least slightly longer than pedicel; clava with apex obliquely truncate.

Mesosoma. Mesoscutum slightly convex with notaular lines in anterior half or absent; axillae convex, strongly raised above level of scutellum and with lateral margins carinate; propodeum about one-fifth scutellum length; mesopleuron posteriorly not enlarged and not touching base of gaster. Fore wing with linea calva open posteriorly; costal cell narrow, dorsal surface with a line of setae in apical third to half; submarginal vein without a triangular expansion; marginal vein longer than both postmarginal and stigmal veins. Tarsi 5-segmented.
