Face below level of toruli golden-green, part frons metallic bluish-green, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum golden-green, mesoscutellum and propodeum metallic bluish-green. Legs with coxae metallic bluish-green; trochanters dark brown; femora golden-green with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster metallic bluish-green, Gt 7 with apical half black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, frons partly with strong reticulation and partly rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with a strong genal carina that reaches to level of lower margin of eye. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.

Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part and with a ±complete median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves ±distinct, curved and diverging towards posterior part; with six setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; with strong reticulation and some irregular carinae medially; callus with five setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
