Shining; head and pedicel opaque, densely and finely punctate; thorax less densely punctate-aciculate; gaster somewhat coriaceous, with sparse, coarse, piligerous punctures.

Hairs and pubescence golden yellow, the former rather abundant, suberect on the body, much shorter, denser and more oblique on the appendages.
