This genus is morphologically similar to Pioscelus Muesebeck & Walkley, 1951, however, it differs mainly by the absence of two parallel carinae or converging grooves in the second metasomal tergum, median area of propleuron with a ridge-like swelling in lateral view; and propodeum with a pair of small lateral spines (from [1]).
