Unknown.
Head. Head weakly transverse. Ocelli arranged in triangle with base 1.1-1.3 times its sides. Frons rather distinctly concave and without median keel. Eyes distinctly, shortly and rather densely setose. Occipital carina complete dorsally, joining below with hypostomal carina or sometimes shortly interrupted. Malar suture very shallow or indistinct. Clypeus with short or very short ventral flange. Hypoclypeal depression rather small. Postgenal bridge rather wide or narrow. Palpi more or less short; maxillary palpi 6-segmented, labial palpi 4-segmented; third segment of labial palpi not shortened. Scapus rather wide, more or less long, without apical lobe and basal constriction, dorsally longer than ventrally. First flagellar segment subcylindrical, almost straight or weakly curved, longer than or almost equal to second segment. Apical segment pointed apically.
Mesosoma. Neck of pronotum short. Pronotum dorsally more or less distinctly convex or flat. Propleural lobe distinct. Mesonotum highly and almost perpendicularly elevated above pronotum. Mesoscutum covered entirely by short and dense setae, without or with distinct, narrow and almost smooth median furrow in posterior half of mesoscutum, its median lobe without anterolateral corners. Notauli incomplete, rather deep in anterior (mostly vertical) part, fine, very fine or almost indistinct in posterior 0.3-0.6. Prescutellar depression rather long, with several carinae. Scuto-scutellar suture rather distinct. Scutellum weakly convex, with fine or almost indistinct lateral carinae. Metanotum with 2 convergent and fused posteriorly with small area lateral carinae, without or with median carina; with short or indistinct metanotal tooth. Mesopleural pit shallow and elongate. Sternauli shallow anteriorly and more or less deep posteriorly, relatively short and straight. Prepectal carina distinct and complete. Postpectal carina absent. Metapleural flange more or less long. Propodeum with at least basolateral areas delineated by carinae, areola long or absent; lateral tubercles present, but short or very short and thick; propodeal bridge absent. Propodeal spiracles very small. Metapleural suture present.
Wings. Pterostigma of fore wing wide. Radial vein arising more or less distinctly before middle of pterostigma. Radial cell not shortened. Present both radiomedial veins. Second radiomedial cell long or short. Recurrent vein more or less antefurcal. Discoidal cell distinctly petiolate anteriorly. Brachial cell closed postero-apically by brachial vein. Parallel vein arising weakly or distinctly behind middle of distal margin of brachial cell. Transverse anal veins absent. Hind wing with 3 hamuli. First abscissa of costal vein 0.6-0.8 times second abscissa. Nervellus present. First abscissa of mediocubital vein 1.5-1.8 times longer than second abscissa or sometimes almost equal to it. Recurrent vein present, curved towards base of wing. Medial cell medium size, rather wide, weakly widened towards apex, 0.4 times as long as hind wing. Radial cell almost parallel-sided, without additional transverse vein. Hind wing of male without stigma-like enlargement.
Legs. Fore tibia with long and dense or short and sparse spines arranged in narrow longitudinal row or in almost single line. Hind coxa without basoventral corner and tooth. Hind femur wide and without dorsal protuberance. Hind basitarsus wide and short, 0.6 times as long as second-fifth segments combined.
Metasoma. First tergite not petiolate, wide and short, with distinct but not large dorsope, with small or very small spiracular tubercles in basal 0.3 and dorsal carinae at least in basal 0.3-0.5; acrosternite about 0.2 times as long as tergite. Second tergite without areas and furrows, with separated laterotergites, spiracles situated on crisp closely to base of tergite. Second suture usually absent or fine. Following tergites without separate laterotergites, rarely third tergite basally with crisp. Ovipositor straight, shorter than metasoma [1].

It differs from Ontsira by the reduction of the tubercle in basoventral corner of hind coxa, the densely setose eyes, the more or less distinctly reduced notauli in distal half of mesoscutum and sometimes developed here median furrow, and the arising of the radial vein more or less distinctly before middle of pterostigma [1].
