Head: black; face yellow pruinose, facial gibbosity distinct, mystax white, sometimes yellow, many macrosetae; ocellar tubercle yellow pruinose dorsally; occiput silver pruinose, yellow setae dorsally and white setae laterally
Antennae: scape brown, setae white; pedicel brown, white setae ventrally and black setae dorsally; postpedicel in proximal half light brown, distal half brown, white pruinose; apical 'seta-like' sensory element hyaline
Thorax: black; scutum bluish-black, predominantly apruinose, margins yellow pruinose, many yellow setae scattered on apruinose surface directing medially, yellow setae on pruinose part, macrosetae: white, 1 notopeural seta, 1 supra-alar seta; scutellar silver pruinose, discal scutellar setae and scutellar setae long, yellow
Legs: yellow to brown; prothoracic and mesothoracic femora yellow proximally, brown distad, metathoracic femora yellow proximally, inner side brown medially, clubbed, club with white setae, especially developed ventrally; tibiae brown, yellow stripe not reaching tip anteriorly; empodium distinct, very short
Wings: densely covered with microtrichiae; pterostigma indistinct, brown; discal cell terminating in 2 veins; halteres brown
Abdomen: black; tergites yellow pruinose anteriorly, posterior margin brown pruinose, T1 with white setae, T2 with few white setae laterally, remaining tergites with short yellowish setae, sternites grey pruinose, S2 in proximal 3/4 apruinose
Male terminalia: surstylus distally only slightly pointed, lobe ventrally; hypandrium ventral margin straight; dorsal aedeagal sheath laterally flattened, tip hook-shaped; lateral apodeme bifurcated.
The species is distinguished from congeners by the large size, the many yellow setae on the surface of the scutum, and the densely arranged microtrichiae on the wings.
