Black, polished, the mandibles and all the legs ferruginous, the tarsi, at least the hind and middle ones, more or less infuscate above, the pedicel of the antennae obscurely red or pitchy. Antennae moderately long, rather longer than the head and thorax together, 13-jointed, the pedicel hardly longer than wide, the first funiclar joint elongate, more than twice as long as wide, distinctly, though not greatly, longer than the second, and about equal to the third; the first and second distinctly more slender than the latter, the latter more so than the fourth, this and all the following being subequal and moniliform, each longer than wide, and all fluted. Mesonotum very smooth and shining, with sparse pale hairs; scutellar cup narrowly ovate, pointed anteriorly, twice as long as its greatest width, with a large fovea posteriorly, and with some distinct piligerous punctures on each side in front of the fovea ; sides of scutellum beneath the disc distinctly rugose and posteriorly pilose. Meso- and metapleura smooth. Wings hyaline, ciliated, neuration dark and strong, the marginal cell open above for about half its length, the cubitus much fainter than the rest of the neuration.
