clypeus
“Clypeus strongly convex, with an elevated carina from the base to the apex …” (Turner 1908)

“Clypeus strongly convex, with an elevated carina from the base to the apex …” (Turner 1908)
clypeus, frontal carina
“Clypeus strongly convex, with an elevated carina from the base to the apex finely continued on the front, and reaching halfway from the base of the clypeus to the anterior ocellus.” (Turner 1908)
eye shape, ocelli
“Eyes more strongly convergent towards the vertex than in other species of the genus; the poseterior ocelli very close to the eyes, fully twice as far from each other as from the eyes.” (Turner 1908)
head texture
“Head opaque, the vertex almost smooth, the front very minutely and closely punctured-striate.” (Turner 1908)
pronotum
“Pronotum much narrower than the head, the anterior and posterior margins raised, the short space between indistinctly transversely striated, the tubercles at the posterior angles reach back to the tegulae.” (Turner 1908).

mesosoma
“Mesonotum and scutellum opaque. Median segment longer than the mesonotum, narrowed towards the apex and vertically truncate posteriorly, coarsely reticulate, with a faint median carina: the face of the truncation transversely striated.” (Turner 1908)

* I do not see a median carina on the propodeum

metasoma
“Abdomen smooth and shining, the second segment slightly transversely depressed at the base, the apical segment compressed and pointed.” (Turner 1908)

body colour
“Black; the scape of the antennae, the basal half of the flagellum, the mandibles, the tegulae, and the legs pale ferruginous.” (Turner 1908)

“Black; the scape of the antennae, the basal half of the flagellum, the mandibles, the tegulae, and the legs pale ferruginous.” (Turner 1908)
wing colour & venation
“Wings hyaline, iridescent; nervures testaceous. The recurrent nervure is almost interstitial with the transverse cubital nervure.” (Turner 1908)

size
“Length 5mm.” (Turner 1908)
