Metasoma:

Head:

1) head broader than long; compound eyes short, subparallel; OVD = 1.5MOD, OOD = 2MOD, IOD = 2.5MOD. 2) supraclypeal area dull and nearly flattened in lateral view; clypeus somewhat protuberant, very broad and short, densely pubescent; labrum shiny, much broader than long. 3) mandible bi-dentate. 4) genal area above narrower than compound eye and much narrowed below. 5) pubescence pale yellowish, quite copious, longest on lower genal area and vertexal area; supraclypeal area and clypeus densely covered in golden-white hairs, lower paraocular area with dense hairs only lowermost area; long dark hairs among pale ones on scape and vertexal area. 6) face between ocelli and antennae with very fine and densely crowded punctures (<1pd), becoming larger and somewhat more coarse between antenna and compound eye (~1pd); supraclypeal area coarsely and densely punctate (1pd), punctures obscured by dense pubescence except for impunctate transverse line; clypeus with coarse, deep and close punctures mainly hidden beneath the dense pubescence, punctures separated by <1pd basally and laterally, becoming more sparse medioapically (~2pd); punctures of vertexal area very fine, medially separated by 1-3pd, becoming deeper and closer laterally (<2pd), with small impunctate shiny areas along outer margin of lateral ocelli; genal area above with minute and very close punctures (1-2pd), becoming somewhat more sparse below (>2pd). 7) IAD much smaller than AOD (1.5X), antennal socket separated from upper margin of clypeus by more than its diameter; F1 very slightly longer than broad, slightly longer than pedicel and half as long as F2, F2 about twice as long, following segments somewhat shorter, dark brown above, golden yellow beneath.

Mesosoma:

8) pubescence pale yellowish-white, quite copious; longest near basal margin of mesoscutum, mesopleuron, and mesoscutellum. 9) mesoscutum rather dull, punctures very fine, densely crowded (<1pd), punctures becoming more separated laterally past parapsidal line (2-3pd); mesoscutellum with a very shallow, median depression, punctures very fine and dense throughout, separated by ~1pd; mesopleuron shiny, punctures minute and well separated (>2pd); hypoepimeral area strongly imbricate on upper ¼, punctures dense but becoming sparse apically; propodeal triangle subequal in length to mesoscutellum, minutely imbricate, very finely and irregularly striate, lateral striations distinct and well separated, margin rounded and smooth; lateral and posterior propodeal surfaces smooth and somewhat shiny, punctures quite close, shallow and rather indefinite, separated by 1-2pd. 10) legs mostly brown, apical tarsal segments becoming yellowish hyaline; hind femur and tibia slender and simple, mid tibial spur about 1/3 as long as mid basitarsus; hind basitarsus slender, about 4 times as long as broad. 11) tegula slightly reddened, outer margin more yellowish-hyaline; anterior half imbricate with fine punctures (2-4pd), becoming sparse posteriorly where surface is shiny; with long white hairs along surface. 12) wings whitish, veins and stigma pale golden brown, recurrent veins entering 2nd submarginal cell subequally distant from base and apex.

Metasoma:
