Head. Antennae 16–21 flagellomeres. Scape less than two times longer than maximally wide. Apical lobe of scape absent, margin of scape and pedicel without dense cluster of setae. Scape shorter than first flagellomere. First flagellar segment longer than second, surface regularly smooth or finely sculptured. Maxillary palpi six-segmented, labial palpi four-segmented, third labial palp segment as long as or longer than second. Malar suture present. Eyes glabrous. Frons not excavated (flat or convex), without lateral protuberances, raised ridge between antennae absent. Occipital carina present, at least laterally. Vertex striate.
Mesosoma. Propleuron only smoothly rounded. Pronotum dorsally without modifications (or convex lobe). Mesoscutum with a sharply raised face anteriorly, at right angle with pronotum, surface of median and lateral lobes more or less sculptured. Notauli entirely absent. Prescutellar depression (scutellar sulcus) long and narrow or of medium length. Scutellum flat. Prepectal carina present. Sternaulus (precoxal sulcus) present, shortened (less or, at most, equal to 2/3 length of mesopleuron), without sculptures (may be smooth or coriaceous, but not carinated). Metanotum without any protuberances or spines. Metapleuron glabrous or with a very sparse/rare discret pubescence. Propodeal bridge between abdominal and coxal foramina absent. Propodeum not convex, sloping from base to apex or horizontal, completely or partly (micro)sculptured. Propodeal carinated areas completely absent. Propodeum without lateral tubercles, without median process.
Wings. Wings present. Radial (marginal) cell of fore wing distally closed. Second radiomedial vein (r-m) of fore wing absent. First radiomedial vein (2-SR) of fore wing present, leading the first and second submarginal cells of fore wing separated. Recurrent vein (m-cu) of fore wing interstitial or antefurcal (arising basad or directly in line with 2RS, (RS+M)b present then second submarginal cell petiolate horizontally). Nervellus (cu-a) of fore wing present, postfurcal or interstitial. Parallel vein (CU1a) relative to cubital vein (2-CU1) of fore wing interstitial, brachial (1st subdiscal) cell of fore wing open (vein 2–1A largely absent apically). Fore wing of male without sclerotized enlargement, including veins 1-m and 1-SR + m. Hind wing with three distal hamuli. Hind wing without transverse vein (r) of radial cell. Hind wing with the recurrent vein (m-cu), recurrent vein (m-cu) not curved towards apex of wing (straigth). Hind wing with the nervellus (cu-a) vein. Hind wing male with a stigma-like enlargement in distal part of costal (1-SC + R) vein, without incurved marginal parts, stigma-like enlargement including distal parts of costal (1-SC + R), mediocubital (M + CU, 1-M), and basal (1r-m) veins. Hind wing with a distinctly enlarged submedial (subbasal) cell, the first abscissa of M + CU more than 1times, often 1.5–2.0 times, as long as second abscissa (1-M). Medial (basal) cell of hind wing closed. Fore wing banded.
Legs. Fore tibial spines present, more or less numerous and dispersed (row of blunt spines on inner sides present). Subapical teeth on fore and middle femora ventrally absent. Hind coxa dorsally without teeth. Hind femora without dorsal protuberances, not swollen (at least 3x longer than wide). Dorsal spines of hind tibia absent. Hind femur without teeth on ventral side. Basoventral tooth of hind coxa present (sometimes very small). Hind basitarsus 0.7–0.8 times as long as tarsi 2–5 combined.
Metasoma. Petiole from 1 times to 1.5 times longer than apical width, without basolateral process (pointed wing-like, spine-like projections) near base, apical width more than 1.6 times (even 2 times) basal width. Petiole with median carinae, median carinae very short (less than or equal to the third of petiole length). Dorsope of first metasomal tergite present and more or less distinct. Acrosternite of first metasomal tergite short, nearly 0.2–0.25 as long as tergite, not fused with ventral margins of tergite, petiole absent, or long, 0.3–0.5 as long as tergite and fused with its ventral margin anteriorly, petiole present. First and second tergites not fused. Laterotergites separated from each other for at least second and third tergites, separated at all tergites. Second tergite without apical lenticulate area. Second tergite basal area enclosed by carinae or grooves absent. Second metasomal suture present or largely or entirely absent, shape of second metasomal suture with more or less distinct lateral angulations. Third tergite medially without any distinct transverse narrow depression. Fifth or sixth metasomal tergites not enlarged, not covering succeeding tergites and entirely smooth.
Venom gland structure. Venom reservoir divided, comprising two parts. Posterior of venom gland narrow. Spiral stucture of venom reservoir posteriorly much courser than anteriorly. Base of secondary venom duct simple. Venom gland is inserted on to the reservoir or the primary duct twice. Pair of blind-ended protuberances from the primary duct arising just posterior to the insertions of the venom glands absent. Primary venom duct and base of reservoir glandular, with simple ductules.
Female genitalia. Ovipositor sheath with normal, short and thin setae. Number of valvilli one or zero. Valvillus of lower ovipositor valve present and well developped. Position of the valvillar insertion close to the dorsal edge of the egg canal. Bar posterior to valvillus or valvillar zone absent. Bars anterior to valvillus or valvillar zone present. Tips of bars not forming spines. Ctenidia minor type only. Broad-based, robust spines in egg canal, posterior to valvillar zone absent. Subctenidial setae simple. Subctenidial setae not or hardly flattened. Posterior ovipositor lower valve fans formed from groups of leaflets absent. Basal most ovipositor lower valve setae small. Single, large crescentic bar-like structure just distal to valvillus absent. Transverse bars near valvillus straight. Pre-apical zone of the rachies without very dense and strong scale-like microsculpture (from [1]).
