Length 1.02-1.14 mm.

Males with vertex deeply excavated between eyes, vertex protruding over excavation, median clump of flattened setae projecting dorsally at posterior margin of excavation, anteriorly curved hook originating above antennal bases; pronotum with small setose bump on antero-lateral margins; mesotrochanters bearing blunt setate tubercle, mesofemora with dorsal circular impression at apex, mesotibiae with broad apical spur; sternite VI medially impressed, broadly truncate at apex, with transverse dense preapical zone of setae in impression. Females with broad V-shaped impression extending anteriorly from vertexal foveae, area from impression to frons apex smoothly roughened. Lacking modifications of legs, sternite VI bluntly rounded, evenly setate.
