Diagnosis. According to van der Vecht (1963) and Tan et al. (2018), the diagnosis of the genus Pareumenes is as follows: Mesoscutum with prescutal furrows. Propodeum with epicnemial carina absent, the transition from dorsal to lateral areas sharply marked, produced into a more or less distinct spine or tooth near apex; dorsal area at base with fovea or longitudinal slit, from which runs a median carina to the apex; first gastral sternite more or less gradually widening from base to apex, rather regularly transversely striate. Metasomal segments more or less distinctly petiolate, the first segment always longer than its width at the apex. Mid tibiae with one apical spur. Outer side of hind tibiae with a variable number of short spines. Female head with cephalic fovea. Forewing with parastigma longer than the stigma.
