Unknown.
Head subcubical. Ocelli with base 0.8 times its side, ocelli absent in male. Frons not concave and without median keel. Occipital carina complete in female, shortly absent ventrally in male. Malar suture absent. Postgenal bridge wide. Palpi strongly reduced (1-segmented in female, absent in male). Scapus short and wide, without apical lobe. First flagellar segment 0.5-0.6 times as long as second segment. Mesosoma in male reduced. Mesonotum rather highly (in female, weakly in male) and roundly raised above pronotum. Notauli deep , wide and complete. Sternauli deep, long, straight and crenulate. Prepectal carina distinct and complete in female, fine in male. Propodeum without marginated areas, lateral tubercles and propodeal bridge absent.
Radial cell of fore wing not shortened. Both radiomedial veins present. Discoidal cell petiolate. Parallel vein interstitial. Anterior and posterior veins of brachial cell fused and forming one line. Medial cell of hind open anteriorly, recurrent vein absent. Fore tibia with numerous slender spines not in row. Hind coxa without basoventral tooth. All femora without dorsal blister. First metasomal tergite not petiolate, with distinct dorsope. Acrosternite about 0.3 (female) and 0.4 (male) times as long as first tergite. Spiracular tubercle places in basal 1/3-2/5 of tergite, dorsal carina present (shortened in female). Second tergite without any area and furrows. Ovipositor sheath longer than metasoma. Apical part of ovipositor with 2 small dorsal nodes and serrate ventrally (modified from [1]).

It is similar to Ecphylus but is distinguished by the unsclerotized mediocubital vein of fore wing, the absence of first radiomedial vein, the absence of brachial cell, the unsclerotized short basal part of second radial abscissa and the strongly reduced palpal segments [1].
It is similar to Leptodoryctes but is distinguished by its distinctly unsclerotized mediocubital vein of fore wing, the complete notauli, the short first metasomal tergite, the thick hind coxa, the very short palpi, the pronotum and mesopleuon which are sculptured at most part, and the apterous male [1].
