Unknown.
Head subcubical. Face convex, rugose, hairy. Frons concave with a median ruga (sometimes faint). Occipital carina present. Antenna longer than body, often (in female) with two white rings (near the base and apically). Thorax cylindrical. Pronotum strongly convex dorsally. Mesonotum concave medio-posteriorly, this concavity with one medio-longitudinal and several oblique rugae. Median lobe strongly convex, with some striae antero-medially. Notauli deep, crenulate. Scutellar sulcus large with several carina. Scutellum flattened, densely punctate. Propodeum rugose, with 6 strong longitudinal carinae. Fore wing narrowed,shorter than the metasoma length. Marginal cell of fore wing long reaching tip of the wing, vein m-cu antefurcal, vein 1cu-a strongly postfurcal. Marginal cell of hind wing not divided. Legs long and slender, mainly the hind legs. Fore tibia with a row of 5-7 stout spines along the anterior edge. Hind coxa with a denticulate crest dorsally, the first tooth long and curved and the following less pronounced. Hind tibia around 2 times as long as hind femur, hind tarsi as long as hind tibia. Metasoma elongate but not petiolate. First tergite 2.5 times as long as its apical width, narrowed at base, with two wings-like processes at base, first tergite with two longitudinal carinae, carina at most 0.33 length of tergite. Second tergite nearly square, with medio-basal semi circular area, area sometimes angled at the apex. Second metasomal suture faint. Third tergite with a medio transverse and arched furrow. Ovipositor sheath arched and strongly thickened apically (translated from [1]).
Male with sculptures more impressed. Tergites 4-6 with a transversal arched furrow. Antenna often fully darkened (without white bands) [1].

This genus is distinguished from Odontobracon by the denticulate hind coxa, its elongated body shape, the veins of hind wing [1].
