color
head
shapeHead broadened behind eyes. Malar space slightly less than longitudinal diameter of eye. Temples usually not longer than transverse diameter of eye. Clypeus along anterior margin uniformly rounded, without denticles. [in key: ] Malar space noticeably less than 1/2 longitudinal diameter of eye [T4]. Temple in dorsal view 0.5 as long as eye (Fig. 3) [P2].

legs
shapeHind femora not thickened, 4 - 5 times as long as wide [T4]. Hind femur 3.3x as long as broad [P2].
sculpture
colorHind femora, sometimes except reddish apex, black; Hind trochanters brown [T4]. Hind femur entirely black, middle and fore femora almost entirely black to blackish [P2].

metasoma
shapeMetasoma not longer than head and mesosoma together, usually uniformly rounded apically, its height in posterior third significantly greater than in anterior third. Metasoma at apex not curved (fig 2) [T4]. Carapace in dorsal and lateral view moderately pointed behind (Fig. 4, 5, see arrow); in ventral view hardly incurved (Fig. 6) [P2].
sculptureMetasoma in apical half slightly less sculptured than in basal half [T4].
colorMetasoma along sides of base with yellow spots [T4]. ♀ Carapace basally with a pair of yellow maculae which sometimes are almost inconspicuous [P2].

6. metasoma not longer than head and mesosoma together, usually uniformly rounded apically.
23. Hind femora usually black; if with somewhat developed reddish pattern, then combination of characters different.
46. metasoma longitudinally oval, posteriorly slightly curved ventrally or not, 3.5—4.5 times as long as high in apical third.
52. Longitudinal diameter of eyes less than 2 times transverse diameter, not more than 3 times height of gena. Head broadened behind eyes, temples not longer than or slightly longer than eye.
60. metasoma in apical half slightly less sculptured than in basal.
63. Hind femora not thickened, 4—5 times as long as wide. Antennae usually more than 25—30-segmented, rarely less. Body usually less than 5.
