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 longer than second or equal to or shorter than second, 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 present, at least laterally. Vertex not striate, granulate, rugulose-granulate, acinose or coriaceous.
Mesosoma. Propleuron only smoothly rounded. Pronotum with 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 completely or partly (micro)sculptured. Propodeal carinated areas completely absent. Propodeum without median process.
Wings. Wings present. Radial (marginal) cell of fore wing distally closed. Second radiomedial vein (r-m) of fore wing present or absent, with wide bulla. 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 postfurcal (arising distad 2RS, (RS+M)b absent), or 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. Brachial (1st subdiscal) cell of fore wing open. 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) not curved towards apex of wing. Hind wing with the nervellus (cu-a) vein. Hind wing male with a stigma-like enlargement in distal part of costal (1-SC + R) vein, without incurved marginal parts, stigma-like enlargement including distal parts of costal (1-SC + R), mediocubital (M + CU, 1-M), and basal (1r-m) veins. Hind wing with a small or medium sized submedial (subbasal) cell, the first abscissa of M + CU 0.2–1.0 time as long as second abscissa (1-M), or with a distinctly enlarged submedial (subbasal) cell, the first abscissa of M + CU more than 1 times, often 1.5–2.0 time, as long as second abscissa (1-M). Medial (basal) cell of hind wing closed.
Legs. Fore tibial spines present, usually few and forming a single row. 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 at all tergites. Second tergite without apical lenticulate area. Second tergite basal area enclosed by carinae or grooves absent. Second metasomal suture present, shape of second metasomal suture straight or evenly curved. Third tergite 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. Fourth-sixth metasomal tergites of males smooth (or striate/coriaceous) basaly, simple, submarginal lateral carinae absent.
Male genitalia. Male genitalia basal ring (gonobase) medium sized. Male genitalia dorsal bridge of basal ring closed. Male genitalia with wide dorsal bridge of basal ring. Male genitalia without basal lobe of basal ring. Parameres wide and roundly triangular, very short, not reaching the middle of digitus, sparsely setose.
Venom gland structure. Venom reservoir divided, comprising two parts. Posterior of venom gland narrow. Spiral stucture of venom reservoir normal. 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 absent. 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 distinctly flattened. Posterior ovipositor lower valve fans formed from groups of leaflets absent. Basal most ovipositor lower valve setae larger than subsequent ones. 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]).
