The
only description given in the original work reads as follows: "Grün,
messingglänzend, die Fühler braun, der Schaft und die Beine gelb, die
Geißel 5gliedrig, stark behaart, das Gesicht ist kupferig; der
Hinterrücken ist gewölbt, glatt; der Hinterleib vollkommen keilförmig,
der Stiel sehr kurz. Männchen. Lg. 2/3 Lin." (translation: "Green, shiny
like brass, the antennae brown, the scape and the legs yellow, the
flagellum with 5 segments, very hairy, the face is like copper; the
posterior thorax is domed, smooth; the abdomen entirely wedge-shaped,
the petiolus very short. Male. Length 2/3 lines"). This description is
not exact enough and the location of type(s) is not known; thus this
taxon cannot currently be identified.
