Head subcubical; ocellar triangle with base 1.3-1.4 x its sides; frons slightly concave or flat and without median keel; eyes glabrous, with very shallow emargination opposite antennal sockets; occipital carina distinct and absent below for short or sometimes long distance, not meeting hypostomal carina; postgenal bridge narrow; palpi formula 6-4; scape short and wide, not flattened or slightly flattened laterally, without apical lobe and basal constriction; first flagellar segment almost straight or weakly curved, not shorter or sometimes slightly shorter than second segment; mesosoma slightly depressed; neck of promesosoma short, convex dorsally, with 2 lateral divergent, slender or thick, pointed processes; pronotal keel indistinct or present; anterior surface of mesonotum gently curved posteriorly and slightly raised above pronotum; notauli deep in anterior 2/3, shallow in posterior 1/3, complete; sternaulus shallow or deep, long, straight and more or less distinctly crenulate; prepectus with longitudinal curved lateral carinae; propodeum without marginate areas; lateral tubercles and propodeal bridge absent; fore tibia with several thick spines arranged in narrow band; hind tibia with 3-7 spines on its outer distal margin and with wide area of dense setae on inner distal part; hind coxa with distinct basoventral corner and tooth; fore and mid femora with, but hind femur without, dorsal protuberances; hind basitarsus 0.75-1.2 x as long as segments 2-5 combined; fore wing marginal cell not shortened; 2RS and r-m present; 1cu-a postfurcal; 3CU not interstitial, arising from posterior 1/5 of distal margin of first subdiscal cell; first subdiscal cell closed apically; hind wing cu-a present; m-cu present and oblique, directed to base of wing; subbasal cell long; basal cell closed anteriorly, distinctly widened distally; RS unsclerotized; first metasomal tergite long and narrow, with dorsope and large or small basolateral processes, not petiolate; acrosternite short about 0.2-0.27 x as long as first tergite; second suture very shallow, sometimes almost indistinct, weakly curved laterally or almost straight; second and third tergites without furrows or defined areas; ovipositor shorter or longer than metasoma [1].

Similar to Doryctes but it is distinguished by its neck of the pronotum which has two distinct lateral and usually pointed processes [1].
