Dapsilitas
A small genus with less than ten species known [bib]1796[bib].
Unknown.
Antenna probably whitish apically or with pale subapical band (antenna of types incomplete); face largely smooth; ventral margin of clypeus thin, upcurved; frons more or less transversally striate; malar suture absent; occipital carina remain separated from hypostomal carina; prepectal carina present and remaining removed from anterior margin of mesopleuron; mesopleuron smooth and glabrous but with sparse long setae ventrally; epicnemial depression present and foveolate; precoxal sulcus smooth, absent posteriorly; metapleuron sculptured; lobes of mesoscutum smooth with converging longitudinal striae or rugae medio-posteriorly; notauli crenulate and moderately widened anteriorly; surface of propodeum smooth anteriorly, rugose or reticulate posteriorly, with short medio-longitudinal carina anteriorly; vein 2-SR of fore wing sclerotized anteriorly, remainder more or less desclerotized; sometimes sclerotized part very short); vein m-cu of fore wing interstitial or nearly so and diverging from vein 1-M posteriorly; vein 3-M medium-sized; first subdiscal cell partly open, vein CU1b present as a short stub and vein 2-1A reduced apically; veins cu-a and m-cu of hind wing short and vertical, straight; vein M+CU of hind wing distinctly shorter than vein 1-M; veins 1-M and 1r-m of hind wing distinctly widened, fore femur with numerous pegs; baso-ventral tooth of hind coxa present, somewhat depressed behind it and densely setose; hind tibia with some ventral striae and widened submedially; tarsal claws distinctly widened and with ventral curved bristle (especially of hind claw); all legs with long and sparse setae; dorsal carinae of first tergite short; first and second tergites longitudinally rugose-striate; second tergite without sublateral longitudinal depression; second metasomal suture nearly straight and finely crenulate; third tergite more or less finely rugose-striate, but smooth apically; fourth tergite somewhat rugose or rugulose anteriorly and remainder smooth; fifth tergite partly granulate; sixth and following tergites finely coriaceous basally, smooth apically; third-fifth tergits latero-posteriorly convex and rather depressed medio-posteriorly; combined length of second and third tergites subequal to their maximum width; third tergite hardly wider than second tergite; second-fifth tergites with sharp lateral crease; body more or less dark brown; wings weakly infuscate [1].

It shares with Ondigus and Neostaphius several derived features: the widened tarsal claws with a ventral bristle, vein m-cu of fore wing diverging from vein 1-M posteriorly, the ventral margin of clypeus upcurved and thin, the hind coxa with small and densely setose depression behind ventral protuberance, vein r-m of fore wing unsclerotized, hind wing with one subbasal bristle anteriorly, vein 1r-m of hind wing about as long as vein 2-SC+R, sublateral longitudinal depressions of second tergite more or less developed, hind tibia with ventral striae, and the tibia more or less widened submedially.[1].
