Metasoma pyriform (lateral view), strongly compressed laterally; petiole elongate, slender, 3.1 × longer than wide; segments 1 and 2 mostly polished and shiny, with a few or scattered fine and superficial punctures on T2 and S2; remaining segments with fine, superficial and dense punctures, except laterally on tergites and sternites; S7 polished and shiny, punctate, punctures fine to coarse, deep and dense; T8 very finely microreticulate, with fine, superficial and dense punctures, except base; ovipositor 0.9 × longer than fore wing length. Setae: segments 1 and 2 and S3 glabrous; recumbent, very short and dense only on medial part of remaining tergites and sternites. MALE unknown. Distribution.
