Pronotum dull, granulate and with numerous longitudinal striae on lateral regions; pronotum crossed by slight anterior transverse impression and strong posterior transverse furrow; disc humped; posterior collar very long, much longer than pronotal tubercle; pronotal tubercle reaching tegula. Mesoscutum dull, granulate, with lateral regions sculptured by numerous longitudinal striae; occasionally longitudinal striae present also on median region of mesoscutum. Notauli complete, occasionally slightly visible near mesoscutellum. In specimen from Madagascar, 12°13.97’ S 49°21.99’E, notauli reaching about 0.7 × length of mesoscutum. Mesoscutellum and metanotum dull, granulate, occasionally rugose and striate. Metapectal-propodeal disc and propodeal declivity shiny, completely reticulate rugose. Forewing with two dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much longer than proximal part. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 27:3:8:22:33. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 141D ) with one large subdistal tooth and one row of 12 lamellae. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 141D ) with two rows of approximately 33 lamellae; apex with approximately 23 lamellae.
