Head. Head not depressed, dorsally roundly-convex (lateral view), weakly transverse. Ocelli disposed in triangle with base 1.2-1.3 times its sides. Frons not excavated and without median keel. Eyes glabrous. Occipital carina complete dorsally, shortly obliterated below before hypostomal carina. Malar suture absent. Clypeal suture distinct and complete. Clypeus with distinct ventral flange. Hypoclypeal depression rather small and round. Postgenal bridge narrow. Palpi long, maxillary palpi 6-segmented, labial palpi 4-segmented. Third segment of labial palpi not shortened, long. Scapus rather wide and short, without apical lobe and basal constriction. First flagellar segment subcylindrical, almost straight, not longer than second segment. Last segment pointed apically.
Mesosoma. Mesosoma not depressed. Neck of pronotum short. Pronotum weakly convex dorsally. Pronotal carina and pronope absent. Propleural lobe distinct and wide. Mesonotum rather highly and almost perpendicularly raised above pronotum. Medial lobe of mesonotum weakly protruding anteriorly, without anterolateral shoulders, with shallow longitudinal median furrow. Notauli deep anteriorly and shallow posteriorly, complete, coarsely crenulate. Prescutellar depression long, with median carina. Scuto-scutellar suture distinct. Scutellum weakly convex, with fine lateral carinae. Metanotum with very short pointed median tooth. Subalar depression shallow and wide. Mesopleural pit distinct. Sternauli (precoxal sulcus) deep, long, almost straight, crenulate. Prepectal carina distinct and complete. Postpectal carina absent. Metapleural flange short and rather narrow. Propodeum with areas distinctly delineated by carinae; lateral tubercles and propodeal bridge absent. Propodeal spiracles small. Metapleural suture present.
Wings. Pterostigma of fore wing rather wide. Parastigma distinct. Radial vein arising just before middle of pterostigma. Radial cell a little shortened. Both radiomedial veins present. Recurrent vein distinctly postfurcal or almost interstitial. Nervulus postfurcal. Discoidal cell distinctly petiolate. Mediocubital vein weakly curved towards anal vein in posterior half. Parallel vein arising from posterior 1/3 of apical side of brachial cell. Brachial cell shortly open posteroapically. Transverse anal veins absent. Hind wing with 3 hamuli. Nervellus present. Fourth costal abscissa 0.9 times as long as mediocubital vein, 0.8 times as long as first and second costal abscissae combined. Submedial cell small. First abscissa of mediocubital vein 0.35 times as long as second abscissa. Recurrent vein present, unsclerotized, slated towards base of wing. Medial cell narrow, about 9.0 times as long as wide, 0.3 times as long as hind wing. Radial vein arising from costal vein. Radial cell narrowed towards apex, without additional transverse vein. First abscissa of costal vein 0.8-1.0 times as long as second abscissa.
Legs. Fore and middle tibia with several distinct small spines arranged in single row. Hind coxa medium-sized, with distinct basoventral tooth. All femora with very low dorsal protuberances. Hind femur rather narrow. Hind tibial spurs short, rather slender, setose, inner spur 0.25-0.3 times as long as hind basitarsus. Basitarsus of hind tarsus 0.6 times as long as second-fifth segments combined.
Metasoma. First tergite not petiolate, wide. Acrosternite 0.12-0.14 times as long as first tergite, its apical margin placed distinctly before level of spiracles. Dorsope of first tergite distinct; basolateral lobes absent. Spiracular tubercles small and situated in basal 0.25-0.27 of tergite; dorsal carinae present and almost complete. Second tergite with shallow, rather wide, posteriorly divergent lateral furrows. Second suture deep, weakly curved medially and finely curved laterally. Second-sixth tergites with separate laterotergites. Ovipositor straight and long. Vertex almost entirely with very dense short semi-erected setae and between it additionally with sparse long and almost erected setae [1].

It is very similar to the genus Vanderentiellus but differs in having the vertex smooth and not sloping from ocelli to occipital carina, the frons not excavated, the recurrent vein of fore wing usually distinctly postfurcal, the mesopleuron mostly smooth, the first tergite long, the second suture weakly sinuous, and the vertex and mesoscutum covered by peculiar dense pubescence [1].
It is also similar to the genus Terate but differs in having the first flagellar segment short, the radial vein of fore wing arising just before middle of pterostigma, the second radiomedial vein distinct, the hind coxa with distinct basoventral tubercle, the first tergite shorter, the second tergite with posteriorly divergent lateral furrows, the propodeum with areas delineated by carinae, the vertex densely finely punctulate and with very dense peculiar setosity [1].
It is similar to the almost cosmopolitan Leluthia, but differs in having the first mediocubital abscissa of hind wing short and submedial cell small, the recurrent vein of fore wing distinctly postfurcal, the second tergite with posteriorly divergent lateral furrows, and the vertex with peculiar setosity [1].
It can be distinguished from cosmopolitan Monolexis in having the first mediocubital abscissa of hind wing short and submedial cell small, the second radiomedial vein distinct, the second tergite with posteriorly divergent lateral furrows, the vertex and mesoscutum with peculiar setosity, the vertex finely punctulate, and the body elongate [1].
It differs from Pareucoryctes in having the first mediocubital abscissa of hind wing short and submedial cell small, the second tergite without posterior additional transverse furrow, the body not depressed, the vertex and mesoscutum with peculiar setosity, the vertex finely punctulate, the hind coxa with a distinct basoventral tooth, and the pronotum weakly convex dorsally [1].
It differs from Donquickeia in lacking the pronotal carina, in having the radial vein arising before middle of pterostigma, the second tergite with posteriorly divergent lateral furrows, the laterotergites separated on the second-sixth tergites, the sternauli long, the vertex and mesopleuron almost smooth, and the vertex and mesoscutum covered by peculiar dense pubescence [1].
It differs from Polystenoides in having the pronotum weakly convex dorsally, the mesoscutum rather highly and almost perpendicularly raised above pronotum, the recurrent vein of fore wing not antefurcal, the second tergite shorter and with posteriorly divergent furrows, the propodeum with areas delineated by carinae, the vertex and mesoscutum covered by peculiar dense pubescence [1].
It differs from Glyptocolastes in having the first mediocubital abscissa of hind wing short and submedial cell small, the third tergite without transverse furrow, the recurrent vein of fore wing not antefurcal, the first flagellar segment longer than second segment, the propodeum with areas delineated by carinae, the vertex smooth, and the vertex and mesoscutum covered by peculiar dense pubescence [1].
It differs from Johnsonius in having the first flagellar segment longer than the second segment, the recurrent vein not antefurcal, the spines of the fore tibia arranged in one row, the second tergite with posteriorly divergent lateral furrows, the vertex smooth, and the vertex and mesoscutum covered by peculiar dense pubescence [1].
