Female. This species is easily distinguishable from all Echthronomas species in having a punctate propodeum, without traces of carinae, yellow frons (inner margins of eyes), face, clypeus, mandibles, malar space (Fig. 2a), tegula, scape and pedicel, black metasoma with tergites II–III apically yellowish and black hind femora (Fig. 2b). The other three species of Echthronomas have propodeum with traces of transverse carinae, entirely black frons, at least partly black face, at least partly red metasoma and red hind femora.
