Unknown.
Head. Antennae 64–89 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. First flagellar segment equal to or shorter than second, surface regularly smooth or finely sculptured. Maxillary palpi six-segmented, labial palpi four-segmented. Malar suture absent. Frons without lateral protuberances. Occipital carina present, at least laterally. Vertex not striate or striate, smooth.
Mesosoma. Propleuron only smoothly rounded. Pronotum with convex lobe. Notauli complete or at least partly present (smooth or sculptured). Prescutellar depression (scutellar sulcus) long and narrow or of medium length. Prepectal carina present. Propodeal bridge between abdominal and coxal foramina absent. Propodeum completely or partly (micro)sculptured. Propodeal carinated areas completely absent. Propodeum without median process.
Wings. Wings present. Radial (marginal) cell of fore wing distally closed. Second radiomedial vein (r-m) of fore wing present, largely tubular, with two bullae. 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 not interstitial, arising behind middle of distal vein of brachial cell (short space between the curved part and the level of 2–1A vein), brachial (1st subdiscal) cell of fore wing distally closed. Fore wing of male without sclerotized enlargement, including veins 1-m and 1-SR + m. 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. Hind wing with the nervellus (cu-a) vein. Hind wing with a small or medium sized submedial (subbasal) cell, the first abscissa of M + CU 0.2–1.0 times as long as second abscissa (1-M). Medial (basal) cell of hind wing closed.
Legs. Fore tibial spines present, usually few and forming a single row. Subapical teeth on fore and middle femora ventrally absent. Hind coxa with one to several teeth (presence of a dentate keel apically after the two theeth). Dorsal spines of hind tibia absent. Hind femur without teeth on ventral side. Basoventral tooth of hind coxa absent.
Metasoma. Petiole from 1.5 times to 2.5 times as long its apical width or more 2.5 times its apical width, without basolateral process (pointed wing-like, spine-like projections) near base, apical width less than or equal to 1.5 times (or subequal to) basal width. 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. 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 or present (sometimes shallow grooves), basal area of second tergite separate from second suture, basal area of second tergite posteriorly wide, width of its apical part subequal to or slightly less than basal width. Second metasomal suture present, shape of second metasomal suture straight or evenly curved. Third tergite medially without any distinct transverse narrow depression, or with a distinct transverse narrow depression (furrow) usually between its anterior third and the middle (sometimes meeting laterally second metasomal suture and enclosing a lenticular area). Fifth or sixth metasomal tergites not enlarged, not covering succeeding tergites and entirely smooth (from [1]).
