Epicnemial carina never reaching the fore margin of mesopleuron. Notch between postscutellum and propodeum V-shaped. Radius intercepting pterostigma at its middle or before its middle but never at its base. Areolet petiolate, oblique, sometimes absent. 2m-cu with a single bulla. Hind wing with cu-a intercepted below or at its middle. Tarsi not swollen. Tarsal claws pectinate, with basal lobe, or not pectinate. Glymmae deep.
