Ocellar triangle shining black, reaching anterior 3/4 offrons, other parts offrons mat red to dark reddish brown. Genae wide, longitudinal axis of eyes only 2. 5-times longer than smallest genal width. Antennae very short, in big facial foveae. Thorax shining black, only 1 dc pair, chaetotaxy as in its congeners (no pteropleural, 1 h, 2 np, 1 prst, 1 sa, 1 pa, 1 small posterior ia, 2 sc, 2 mp, 1 st).
