Antenna filiform; antennomeres in following proportions: 15:8:10:10:10:10:9.5:10:10:13; antennomere 8 at least 3 × as long as broad (10: 3 inthe holotype; 9: 3 inother specimen). Head convex, dull, covered with short setae, completely reticulate rugose and granulate; occasionally head granulate and with numerous slight irregular keels; frontal line complete (reduced to irregular track in front of anterior ocellus); occipital carina complete; POL = 7; OL = 4; OOL = 10; OPL = 2.5; TL = 5. In series of specimens from South Africa, 34°16.481’S 19°01.033’E, POL slightly shorter than OOL (7:8). Mesoscutum dull, completely granulate and sculptured by numerous irregular keels; occasionally mesoscutum granulate and without irregular keels; in some specimens from South Africa, 34°16.481’S 19°01.033’E, mesoscutum granulate, strongly rugose near posterior margin. Notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.4–0.6 × length of mesoscutum (0.4 × in holotype). In some specimens from South Africa, 34°16.481’S 19°01.033’E, notauli almost complete (distal part hardly visible among areolae present near posterior margin of mesoscutum). Mesoscutellum and metanotum dull, granulate, with few short irregular keels. Mesopleuron dull, granulate and partly reticulate rugose. Metapleuron dull, sculptured by numerous strong transverse keels. Metapectal-propodeal disc with strong transverse posterior keel, dull, reticulate rugose; propodeal declivity dull, reticulate rugose, with tracks of two complete longitudinal keels (tracks visible only under special conditions of light) and median area dull and as rugose as lateral areas.
