Length 2.5-2.6 mm
Head in dorsal view 2.25-2.3 times as broad as long and 1.2-1.25 times broader than mesoscutum; POL 1.3 OOL but 0.94 in species from Oreopsyche vesobiellae. OOL 2.4-2.6 times OD. The temples are o.5 times apparent length of eyes. In frontal view the clypeus is slightly emarginate. Mouth 1.8 times malar space, the latter 0.6-0.7 length of eye. The lower edge of the toruli is placed in the middle of the face: is 0.9-1.0 length of upper face; the scape is as long as upper face and 0.9 length of eye; pedicellus plus flagellum 1.3 times breadth of head, pedicellus 1.3-1.4 times as long as broad; F1 1.6-1.9 times as long as broad, the following segments relatively shorter but still longer than broad: F6 1.2-1.5 times longer than broad.

The metasoma of the holotype is 1.8 times longer than broad and 1.4 times longer than mesosoma.
