Each eye composed of about 35 facets. Pronotum about as long as wide, PL 0.62–0.63 mm, PW 0.61–0.62 mm; roundly expanded at lateral margins; pronotal apex and base narrowed and truncate.

Protrochanters (Figs 2B, E) with small ventral denticle at middle; mesotibiae (Figs 2C, F) with broadly concave mesal margin before triangular preapical spine; metatrochanters (Figs 2D, H) with blunt ventral projection near apex; all femora with ringed sulcus near base. Abdomen slightly wider than long, AL 0.81–0.83 mm, AW 1.03–1.07 mm; sternite IX (Fig. 2K) nearly oval. Aedeagus (Figs 2M, N) length 0.57 mm; median lobe asymmetric, apex rounded, with sharp, weakly-sclerotized projection at right side; dorsal lobe well-sclerotized, slender, curved rightwards near apex.
Female (Fig. 1B). Identical to male except antennomeres shorter, and mesotibiae lacking distal concavity and preapical tooth.. Measurements: BL 2.73–2.81 mm, HL 0.51–0.52 mm, HW 0.53–0.54 mm, PL 0.53–0.54 mm, PW 0.52–0.54 mm, EL 0.66–0.68 mm, EW 1.00–1.03 mm, AL 0.91–0.95 mm, AW 1.06–1.07 mm.
