Abdomen brown ... T-II-III with reddish yellow lateral spots ... Fore and middle femora blue ... tibiae and tarsi brown. Clypeus ... (Fig. 4) ... strongly raised apically... Antennái joints longer ... 3rd joint (Fig. 7) 2.5 times as long as wide at apex ...11th 2.7 times as long as wide in middle ... Postscutellum with lunate excavation at base, but not foveolate". Axillae small. "Postero-lateral teeth of propodeum ... nearly right angle at apex and not noticeably produced laterally. 5.2-6.5 mm" (according to TSUNEKI 1959). Mesopleuron coarsely longitudinally rugose-punctate. Head and thorax finely punctured. japonicus TOSAWA S 1 1 Body blue, green, and violet partly.

Postscutellum oblong, 1.3-1.4 times as wide as long just before origin of posterior prolongation, with fine, scattered punctures on its anterior half, and with a shining split at bottom before it (holotype) excepting 1 male without a split.
