Mesosoma: Pronotum clearly visible in dorsal view, even laterally, under the form of a broadly concave strip (length on the axe: 93,ju.), the hind limit with a well defined margin which slightly overhangs the fore margin and the sides of the mesoscutum; this one with a sharp, foveolated, longitudinal median furrow, extending to the axillo-scu­tellar furrows, and with two foveolated parapsidal furrows, sligthtly arched to each other but anteriorly practically obsolete and straight; under some angles of observation, they completely disappear at some distance from the common median foveola of the axillo­scutellar furrows, but under other angles, one can guess their obsolete prolongation to that foveola. Not the slightest trace of a suture separing the axillae from the rest of the mesoscutum; foveolae of the axillo-scutellar furrows increasing from the median one to the sides; scutellum devoid of lateral carinae and of peripherical foveolae, sharply transverse (length/width = 175 /i/280 p). Both mesoscutum (includingaxillae) and scu­tellum are slightly alutaceous, with a long, sparse, nearly appressed pubescence; they form together a kind of ellipsoidal shield, well cut off by its dark colour and its con­vexity from the metanoto-propodeal complex, paler and clearly more below; metonotum in a very distinct, deeply foveolated strip surrounding the scutellum; dorsal part of the propodeum also deeply foveolated, its hind margin in lamellar carina, without median tooth, but laterally sharply toothed; propodeal spiracle circular (diameter: 40 . ), opening exactly under the lateral tooth, facing behind and surrounded by a pubescent strip; hind face ot the propodeum oblique, visible in dorsal view, in carinated collar. Sides of the pronotum generally alutaceous, but roughly shagreened or foveolated in the Y-shaped furrow (the fore branch of which extends dorsally and widens, to form the broad dorsal strip described ahead), near the fore coxae, and along a strip limited by the fore margin and a parallel furrow. Prepectus alutaceous, narrow, its hind margin being a foveolated furrow united in an arch to the furrow separing the mesopleuron and the metapleuron; lateral part of the mesopleuron alutaceous, separed by a strong ca­rina from the pubescent, shagreened ventral part; metapleuron alutaceous, with a ca­rina (bordered by foveolae) along the hind coxae up to the propodeum; the dark meta­pleuron specially well cut off from the paler propodeum. Wings: Fore wings (fig. 3) reduced to stumps keeping a vestige of the pterostigma; this one bears at least two setae (one, broken in the preparation, probably a bit shorter); the hind wings have not been distinguished but they are probably existing. Legs: Hairy, specially on the coxae; femora and tibiae, under the magnification x 100, clearly alutaceous. Metasoma: Tergites and sternites finely alutaceous; metanol collar relatively narrow, hardly pubescent and carinated (7 stronger carinae with some less distinct mixed ones); fore margin of this collar rugose; a tulft of hains at each sides under the collar and a few, sparse setae on the behind and the sides of the great tergite; this one longer (910 M ( than the mesosoma (775 n), occupying 7/10 of the length of the metasoma; gastro­coeli: a pair of shallow transverse furrow, without special coloration or microsculptu­re at mid-length of the tergite; great sternite pubescent in the medio-posterior part, alutaceous, with pale, longitudinal gastrocoeli, preceeded by some ten setae; following tergites and sternites alutaceous and pubescent. Mensurations: See the table. MALE unknown.
