Abstract (from the source)

The account available for this species preserves only a fragment referring to the pronotum, whose lateral margins are subparallel or broadly rounded, the hind margin slightly convex with a shallow median hollow. The head, mandibles, antennae and postmentum are missing from the recovered text, and no alate description survives. No morphological summary beyond this fragment can therefore be supported.
