Antenna clavate; antennal segments in following proportions: 15:7:35:21:12:12:10:9:8:8; antennal rhinaria present in segments 6–10. Head weakly excavated, shiny, with face and vertex reticulate rugose and occiput granulated; frontal line complete; occipital carina incomplete, present behind and on sides of posterior ocelli, laterally extending beyond 0.5 length of OOL; POL = 3; OL = 2; OOL = 12; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli longer than OL (4:2); posterior ocelli touching occipital carina; temple distinct. Palpal formula 6/3. Pronotum (Plate 97D) hairy, crossed by strong transverse impression; anterior collar smooth, unsculptured; disc very humped, with some longitudinal keels, without posterior transverse impression; posterior edges of pronotum rounded, not produced into lobes. Scutum hairy, reticulate rugose. Notauli absent; occasionally present and incomplete, hardly visible. Scutellum completely reticulate rugose. Metanotum very short, reduced. Propodeum dull, with dorsal surface reticulate rugose, occasionally with many subparallel irregular longitudinal keels; posterior surface reticulate rugose, with two longitudinal keels. Fore wing with two dark transverse bands; distal part of stigmal vein much longer than proximal part (21:9). Hindwing hyaline, distally darkened. Protarsal segments in following proportions: 24:2:8:15:32. Enlarged claw (Plate 97F) with one subapical tooth and one row of 12–15 peg-like hairs.
