Clypeus flat, almost smooth; apical margin sharp and pointed medially. Gena with very sparse punctures. Malar space 0.8× as long as width of mandibular base.

Notaulus absent or weakly impressed at frontal margin of mesoscutum. Mesoscutum densely punctate, dull. Mesopleuron striate dorsally and rugose-punctate or ± striate ventrally; speculum partly smooth. Epicnemial carina not or slightly widened ventrally. Sternaulus weakly impressed.

Legs reddish; fore and mid coxae and trochanters ivory; hind coxa brown, with ivory dorsal spot; distal fore and mid tarsomeres brown; hind femur apically ± and hind tibia basally and apically infuscate; hind femur sometimes with dorsal ivory stripe (in ♀ from Borneo), hind tarsus reddish-brown or black. Wings hyaline; pterostigma reddish-brown or brown.

Temple long, shortly parallel behind eye and moderately and roundly narrowed apically. OED 1.7× and OOD 1.6× ocellar diameter. Temple and frons smooth and shining, with very sparse superficial punctures. Face with sparse punctures, shining. Clypeus flat, with sparse punctures; apical margin sharp and pointed medially and laterally slightly protruding. Gena with very sparse punctures. Malar space 0.8× as long as width of mandibular base.

Notaulus indicated at frontal margin of mesoscutum. Mesoscutum with superficial coarse punctures, shining. Mesopleuron and metapleuron distinctly striate; speculum smooth. Epicnemial carina moderately widened ventrally. Sternaulus impressed in frontal fourth of mesopleuron. Juxtacoxal carina shortly indicated frontally. Scutellum pyramidal, wider than long, with coarse transverse rugae; lateral carina complete, dentiform widened basally. Postscutellum striate. Propodeum completely carinated, without apophysis; spiracle slit-shaped. Area basalis much wider than long. Area superomedia hexagonal, slightly wider than long, costula reaching at 4/10 of its length. Hind femur superficially punctate and granulated, 4.0× as long as wide.
