Scape yellowish-brown with apico-dorsal part brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown to black. Head with frons black with metallic greenish-blue tinges, antennal scrobes black and dull, clypeus dark brown; vertex black with weak metallic blue tinges. Mesosoma black with metallic purple, blue and golden tinges. Legs with coxae black with metallic green tinges; trochanters yellowish-brown; femora dark brown to black with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown. Petiole black.

Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves indistinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; anterior pair of setae placed in the middle of mesoscutellum. Dorsellum with strong sculpture. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands posteriorly; with strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Coxae with strong reticulation; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin in apical part. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below and towards base of wing; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a semicircular incision, without transverse edge or carina dorsally, with weak reticulation and shiny, remaining tergites with strong reticulation.
