Head subcubical or slightly transverse; ocellar triangle with base larger than it sides; eyes glabrous; occipital carina complete, reduced below and not fused with hypostomal carina; postgenal bridge narrow; palpi formula 6-4; scape wide and long, without apical lobe; first flagellar segment not shorter than second segment; neck of promesosoma short; anterior mesonotum curving posteriorly and distinctly raised above pronotum; notauli entirely, deep, but shallow posteriorly; sternaulus deep, long, almost straight; prepectal carina distinct and complete; propodeum usually with marginate basolateral areas; lateral tubercles and propodeal bridge absent; fore tibia with dense spines arranged almost in single row;hind coxa with basoventral corner and tooth; all femora with more or less distinct dorsal protuberances; hind basitarsus 0.7-0.9 times as long as segments 2-5 combined; fore wing marginal cell not shortened; 2RS and r-m present; 1m-cu and 1cu-a postfurcal; 3CU not interstitial, arising from anterior 1/5-1/3 of distal margin of first subdiscal cell; first subdiscal cell closed; hind wing cu-a present; subbasal cell small; m-cu present; basal cell wide; RS arising from R; marginal cell without r; first metasomal tergite not petiolate, wide, movably fused with second tergite; acrosternite about 0.2 times as long as first tergite; dorsope small; second suture distinct and straight; second tergite with or without basal area, usually with lenticular apical area; sixth tergite of female enlarged, concealing the succeeding segments; ovipositor often longer than metasoma [1].
Head cubical to subcubical, sometimes transverse, frons more of less concave, occipital carina present. Antenna long and slender. Metasoma: notauli deep, crenulate; scutellar sulcus large, usually crenulate. Propodeum with one mediolongitudinal carina and a pentagonal areola posteriorly, metapleuron clearly separated from the propodeum by one carina. Second submarginal cell of fore wing long, vein 1cu-a postfurcal. At least the fore tibia with one row of stout spines along the anterior edge. Hind coxa angled or with antero-ventral basal tooth. Metasoma: second suture faint, second tergite with a transversal area medio-basally, this area limited by a crenulate groove [2].
