Head 1.5 as wide as mesosoma, distinctly narrowed behind, shagreen with dense and coarse punctures ( Fig. 5D ). Frons flat. Diameter of ocellus as long as distance between lateral ocellus and eye. Occipital carina complete from above, joined with hypostomal carina at distance from base of mandible as long as malar space length. Flagellum with 40 filiform segments. First segment 2.9 × as long as wide, penultimate segment 3.1 × as long as wide. Face 1.4 × as wide as high ( Fig. 5C ). Clypeus convex basally, with rare punctures and rather blunt apical ridge. Upper tooth of mandible longer than lower tooth. Malar space shagreens with rare punctures, 0.2 × as long as basal width of mandible, very short.

Mesosoma not stout, 1.7 × as long as high, polished with dense and coarse punctures ( Fig. 5B ). Epomia and notaulus present. Scutellum elongated to forward. Epicnemal carina not joined with front ridge of mesopleuron, end near its lower third. Mesopleuron very swollen, with small tubercle on lower hind angle just in front of middle coxa. Speculum very concave. Fore wing with areolet pointed from above. Second recurrent vein (2m-cu) with single rather short bulla. Nervulus distinctly postfurcal, parallel vein joined postnervulus almost in middle. Hind wing with 8 distal hamuli. Nervellus strongly reclival, intercepted in middle ( Fig. 5G ). Legs moderately slender. All coxae swollen. Hind femur 5.0 × as long as wide. Hind tarsal segments not swollen, correlation between their lengths 37:20:16:8:10. Second segment 5.5 × as long as wide. Tarsal claws pectinate. Propodeum smoothly curved in lateral view, with dense and coarse punctures and lateral longitudinal carina and posterior transverse carina ( Fig. 5E ). Propodeal spiracle elliptic.

First tergite 1.8 × as long as wide, moderately dense and coarsely punctured, with longitudinal concavity on middle to apical margin, it tending to transversely carinate ( Fig. 5F ). Second and third tergites with more fine punctures, weakly striated transversally. Second tergite 1.2 × as long as wide.

Black. Head black. Clypeus and mandible yellow except black base of mandible and mandibular teeth. Antenna black. Mesosoma black with yellow spots. Hind upper angle of pronotum, elongated marks on fronto-lateral part of mesonotum yellow. Tegula, tegular ridge, and upper margin of mesopleuron yellow. Fore and mid coxae yellow with black marks on inner side. Fore and mid legs yellow with brown tarsal claws. Hind coxa black with unstructured yellow marks. Trochanter yellow with brown upper side. Femur and tibia yellow. Tarsus brown and tarsal claw yellow with brown tip. Metasoma black. All tergites except first with yellow thin line on each apical margin.
