Description Female BODY LENGTH. 16–18 mm. HEAD. Posterior margin slightly and angularly concave. Occipital carina evenly arched and equally wide throughout. Vertex width 0.8 × pronotal width. Eye almost circular, its length in frontal view 1.3× the distance from its ventral margin to mandibular condyle. Head densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate to areolate-punctate. Genal carina present, well defined. Mandible oblique, tapering slightly towards with small subapical tooth. Dorsal scrobal carina present, reaching antennal tubercles and disconnected from lateral scrobal carina. Antennal tubercle coarsely and irregularly rugose. Flagellomere 1 1.9 × pedicel length; flagellomere 2 1.6× pedicel length. MESOSOMA. Length 0.85 × width. Mesosomal dorsum densely and coarsely areolate-punctate throughout, intervals sharper posteromediad and blunt laterad; with vestigial irregular longitudinal carina anteromedially. Anterior surface of propodeum defined, short, slightly shorter than pronotal collar, vestigial coarse striae longitudinally basomedially, and sparse coarse punctures dorsomedially; micropunctate anterior to epaulets; dorsal surface roundly angulate into anterior surface in lateral view. Humeral carina well defined, slightly projected dorsally, broadly separated from conspicuously projected subangulate epaulet, anterolateral corners of pronotum sharply angulate in dorsal view. Pronotal spiracle slightly projected from lateral margin of pronotum, rounded, bulging. Lateral surface of pronotum sparsely punctate with dense, interspersed micropunctures except at smooth conspicuous subacute tubercle anterior to pronotal spiracle; mesopleuron densely micropunctate anteriorly, sparsely punctate to foveolate-punctate to areolate-punctate ventrad on mesopleural ridge; metapleuron unsculptured, smooth shining on dorsal fourth, densely and coarsely areolate on basal fourth, and with dense micropunctures elsewhere. Lateral surface of propodeum densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate anterad; sparsely foveolate-punctate posterad; conspicuous smooth shining, somewhat granulose areas along posterior margin. Ratios of width of humeral angles, pronotal spiracles, widest point of mesonotum, narrowest point of mesonotum and propodeum posterior to propodeal spiracles, 69: 79: 83: 60:61. Lateral margin of mesonotum conspicuously constricted anterior to propodeal spiracle, strongly diverging anterad, medially projected, into blunt tooth-like process; with very small conspicuous tubercle posterior to lateral process. Propodeal spiracle strongly projected from lateral margin of mesosoma; post-spiracular area vestigial. Scutellar scale present, reduced, as narrow as surrounding sculpture; anterolateral carinae absent; scabrous intervals vestigial on scutellar area. Propodeum gibbose, dorsal surface much shorter than and poorly distinguished from posterior surface. METASOMA. Ratios of width of T1, width of T2 and length of T2, 42: 99: 98. Disc of T2 densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate to punctate with dense, interspersed micropunctures; foveolations sparser and micropunctures absent laterally and over integumental spots. T3–6 sculpture, except pygidial plate, predominantly concealed by dense setation, densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate to simply punctate with interspersed micropunctures where visible. S1 sparsely, coarsely and confusedly foveolate-punctate, surface cuneiform, ending in short blunt longitudinal carina, slightly higher medially. S2 sparsely foveolate-punctate, sculpture conspicuously sparser posteromediad; anteromedial crest-fold vestigial. S3–4 sculpture mostly concealed by dense setation, densely and finely foveolate-punctate with sparse micropunctures where visible; S4 densely foveolate-punctate; S6 sparsely foveolate-punctate. Pygidial plate subpyriform, defined by lateral carinae at apical fourth of plate; surface irregularly rugose; interstice apparently granulose; rugae vestigial to absent apicad. Male BODY LENGTH. 9–15 mm. HEAD. Transversely subrectangular with posterolateral angles rounded in dorsal view; convergent immediately behind eyes. Width 0.9× pronotal width. Eye almost circular. Ocelli small; OOD 3.6× DLO, IOD 1.25 × DLO. Occipital carina distinct. Head surface sparsely and finely punctate, with sparse interspersed micropunctures along posterior margin of vertex; sculpture sparser and finer posterad, denser and coarser anterad. Gena ecarinate. Antennal scrobe concave to eye margin, with well-defined transverse dorsal scrobal carina. Clypeus concave laterally immediately below antennal insertion, conspicuously convex medially; sculpture concealed by dense se
