Diagnosis

(updated from Townes 1969, Sheng 2011 and Takasuka et al. 2011). Clypeus small, convex and may have a curved lip on the ventral margin. Occipital carina complete; joining hypostomal carina above base of mandible. Upper tooth of mandible longer than the lower tooth. Apical 0.3-0.4 of flagellum tapered to a slender apex. Pronotum without epomia. Lower half of mesopleuron weakly convex or flat. Hind edge of metanotum with projection absent to well-defined. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum present or absent; pleural carina present or absent; propodeal spiracle round or almost so. Fore wing with areolet present, anteriorly truncate or with short petiole; vein 2m-cu with two closely spaced bullae, or with a single bulla 0.5 to 1.0 times as long as the section of 2m-cu below the bulla. Hind wing with first abscissa of Cu1 weakly reclivous; distal abscissa of Cu1 meeting cu-a distinctly closer to M than to 1A. First tergum evenly and strongly tapered toward base, with a glymma, spiracle anterior to middle of tergum, surface matt to subpolished, with sparse or irregular medium-sized punctures and often some wrinkling; dorsal profile of tergum 1 moderately to strongly convex near base and weakly convex near apex; median dorsal carina absent. Apical portion of metasoma weakly to strongly compressed. Ovipositor sheath approximately 0.6 times as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor straight, sometimes upcurved, its subapical portion with a dorsal notch.
