Female metasoma gradually tapered posterior to third segment. First tergite with median dorsal carinae usually only present basally but sometimes surpassing middle of tergite, with some longitudinal wrinkles, 1.0–1.2 times longer than wide in females, 1.2–1.5 inmales; second tergite basally with few short but strong longitudinal wrinkles, 0.5–0.65 times as long as wide in females, 0.65–0.8 inmales, second tergite 0.75–0.95 times as long as first tergite; spiracle of third tergite on dorsal part, above lateral fold.  Colouration of females.Antenna bright orange.
