Male description. Structure: Supra-antennal plates separated medially by a smooth longitudinal line; mesopleural transverse sulcus thin and well-marked, with the base turning up towards the mesopleural spiracle; forewings hyaline, ferruginous on the anterior margins and stigma. The marginal cell castaneus; first metasomal tergite with laterals slightly convex in dorsal view, spiracles not raised and dorsal surface with longitudinal rounded depression; epipygium with deep and stretched punctures raised sublaterally; first metasomal sternite with tuft of hairs emerging from a very slight elevation. The insertion of the tuft ‘v’ shaped; hypopygium subquadrate, with straight lateral margins diverging posteriorly towards the apex. The apical margin convex and curved in posterior view;

Genital capsule: Basal ring long, with its dorsal surface longer on its apical margin. Slightly depressed sublaterally, with a longitudinal line medially in dorsal view; gonocoxite strongly tapering towards the apex in lateral view, with less than 3/4 the gonostylus extension. Strongly depressed basally and on before the ventral margin, forming a round dorsal surface. The apex almost contiguous, feebly separated; aedeagus lamellate, almost as long as the gonostylus, with a small rounded lobe apically. Strongly curved ventrally; gonostylus subquadrate, slightly tapering towards the slightly rounded apex, with the sub-basal region strongly constricted. With golden pubescence on the half apical region margins.

Coloration. Body black with several yellow markings. Clypeus except for the basal and apical margins. Mandibles with dark margins and teeth. Supra-antennal plates, except for a line between them. Internal surface of the scape. Orange tyloids on the flagelomeres VI–XI. Bands contouring the frontal margin of the eyes, from the clypeus margin to the posterior ocelli, narrowing from the supra-antennal plates. Bands also on the genal surface, not touching the eye margin, narrowing towards the vertex. The two bands almost touching each other at the vertex. The anterior margin of the neck. The anterior margin of the pronotum, interrupted dorsally and stretching to the lateral margin, where is broadened and fused to the fasciae of the posterior margin. Mesepisternal lamellae and tegulae yellow. A pair of trapezoidal spots on the mesoscutum surface and rectangular spots on the scutellum. Lateral spots reaching from the mesoscutum to the scutellum anterior margin. The metanotum except for the fossae. Propodeum with a pair of large spots ‘u’ shaped and a small one before the petiolar socket. Mesopleuron except for the transverse sulcus and margins. Legs except for the dark castaneus trochanter, inner margin of femora and apical tarsi. The lateral of the tergite I, stretching and converging on a submarginal transverse posterior fasciae. transverse fasciae before the apex of tergite I–IV, broader on the lateral margins. Apical half of the sternite I. Broad transverse fasciae on the sternite II–IV, almost interrupted medially on II and III and completely on IV.

Female: unknown.

Etymology. From Latin, apice —“apex”; and concava —“concave”. Referring to the apical margin of the hypopygium, that is concave in posterior view.

Distribution. Only know from the coastal Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
