Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 1064); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 348) with median part with weak reticulation and a weak median groove in posterior two-thirds, outer margin of submedian grooves absent, grooves with transverse and strong carinae, lateral parts with strong reticulation; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 348) with strong irregular carinae, callus with three setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part; gaster (Fig. 348) 2.0× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt

1 with longitudinal short carinae, tergites with weak reticulation.
