Males. Males are easily separated from all other genera of tribe Priocnemini by having posterior margin of S 6 with row of dense short equal length bristles (Fig. 17), and flagellomeres 2 – 11 serrate beneath (Fig. 2). Other characters of importance are: first flagellomere 2.3 – 4.2 times its width; propodeum smooth or with dense punctures; tarsal claws usually without additional tooth, but sometimes bifid, with additional inner small tooth; body black or dark brown with few or abundant yellow (yellow-orange) spots on: head, mesosoma, metasoma and legs (Figs 2, 4, 5, 6).
