Mesoscutellum flat, with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and parallel; with seven setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with weak sculpture, without median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands posteriorly; with strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with three setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
