Female: Body length 1.92–1.95 (1.99, lateral view). Propodeum with areola 0.92–0.939 longer than wide; anterior diagonal carinae of propodeum shallowly meeting anterior margin of propodeum. Legs yellow; hind tibia 4.28–4.309 longer than ovipositor. Ovipositor sheaths short, curved and setose; gently decurved, projecting beyond apex of metasoma (exerted part 0.16). First metasomal tergal plate 1.23–1.249 longer than wide, with coarse sculpture at apical 3/4th region merging with longitudinal carinae (except smooth central portion on the apical margin); basal 1/4th region smooth, bulged on sides, widest pre-apically; 2nd tergum wider than long; shorter than 3rd tergum medially. Mesopleuron smooth, shiny in diagonal apical half (basal half punctate). Metapleuron generally smooth except for very shallow punctures posteriorly and at extreme apex, anterior pit deep.
