Male (Fig. 4). Body length. 5–7 mm.
Head (Figs 6–8). Face about as long as broad across the eyes; genal area without foveae; midocellus 1.8 diameters from ocular margin; hindocelli 4 diameters from posterior margin of vertex; scapal basin with narrow, longitudinal submedial band of cross-ridges; malar space 3.5–3.8 midocellus diameters; subantennal distance 1 midocellus diameter long; flagellomere I 4× as long as broad; flagellomere II 2.8–3.0× as long as broad; flagellomere IX 5× as long as broad, flagellar setae 0.7 midocellar diameter long; ocular setulae 0.4 midocellus diameter long.
Mesosoma (Fig. 9). Pronotum about as long as scutum; punctation on pronotum, scutum and mesopleuron large, deep and nearly contiguous punctuation, without scrobal sulcus or omaulus; scutellum polished with scattered tiny punctures; metapleuron polished, impunctate.
Metasoma. Tergum I polished with few tiny highly scattered punctures; tergum II with two large ovoid patches of small punctures, 1 puncture diameter apart, separated medially by impunctate band and with broad apical impunctate band; terga III–IV with tiny punctures 1 puncture diameter apart, becoming sparser toward apical margin.
Color. Head, meso- and metasoma black with metallic bluish green highlights dorsally on head, pronotum and scutellum, sometimes faint on metasomal terga; mandible and antenna dark brown; legs light reddish brown, except coxae dark brown to black basally; wing membrane brown-tinted, darkest in vicinity of stigma; wing veins dark brown.
Female (Fig. 5). Body length. 4.5–5.5 mm. As in the male, except face (Fig. 10) about as long as broad across the eyes; malar space 3.6-3.8midocellus diameters; subantennal distance 0.8 midocellus diameter; flagellomere I 2.4× as long as broad; flagellomere II long as broad; flagellomere IX 1.3× as long as broad; scape, pedicel black, flagellomeres I–III white, remaining flagellomeres black; coxae, femora, mid and hindtibiae black basally, whitish apically; foretibia and tarsi brown; wing membrane brown-tinted with dark brown veins.
