Unknown.
Head. 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 (e.g. Fig. 1L), 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 absent. Frons without lateral protuberances. Occipital carina absent. Vertex not striate, smooth.
Mesosoma. Propleuron only smoothly rounded. Pronotum dorsally without modifications (or 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 almost entirely smooth (visible in the carinated areola). Propodeal carinated areas present at least basally. 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 posterior bulla only. 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 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) clearly (sometimes strongly) curved to apex of wing. Hind wing with the nervellus (cu-a) vein. 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.
Legs. Fore tibial spines present, more or less numerous and dispersed. Subapical teeth on fore and middle femora ventrally absent. Hind coxa dorsally without teeth. Dorsal spines of hind tibia absent. Hind femur without teeth on ventral side. Basoventral tooth of hind coxa absent.
Metasoma. 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 present (sometimes shallow grooves), basal area of second tergite connected with 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 with more or less distinct lateral angulations. 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.
Venom gland structure. Venom reservoir undivided, tubular. Posterior of venom gland wide and hemispherical. 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 nodus double (or more as Cryptodoryctes), with both nodus well developed. Number of valvilli one or zero. Ovipositor apex heavily sclerotized and typically black. 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 present. Bars anterior to valvillus or valvillar zone absent. 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. One or more ancillary teeth near the tip of the ovipositor absent (from [1]).
