The ovipositor, when fully extended, measures 5.5 millimeters long. General coloration is black, however, the first tergite is yellow. The fore and mid legs are also yellow, while the hind pair are reddish-brown and whitish-yellow. The antennae are dark brown, with a whitish-yellow stripe between the 11th and 15th flagellomeres No males of the species have been observed to date.
