Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid ( Fig. 776 View Figs 776–783 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 342 View Figs 340–343 ) with strong reticulation and with a complete median groove, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct, straight and ±parallel; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 342 View Figs 340–343 ) with strong reticulation, callus with four setae; gaster ( Fig. 342 View Figs 340–343 ) 2.1× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum brown. Head with frons golden-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum metallic bluish-green, propodeum golden. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown with metallic tinges, hind coxa metallic green; trochanters brown; femora dark brown with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 metallic bluish-green with posterior margin golden-purple, Gt2-4 golden-purple, Gt5-7 dark brown with metallic tinges; gonoplac dark brown.

Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle. Occipital margin with a carina behind ocellar triangle.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe rugose close to notauli; midlobe with a median groove in posterior two-thirds, with 16 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation and with a complete median groove, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and ±parallel; with ten setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum partly open below; costal setal row broken.

Petiole transverse. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
