Etymology. The genus is named in honor of Professor Alexander P. Rasnitsyn. Gender masculine.

Diagnosis. Antenna filiform, with 12 flagellomeres. Fore wing with 1-Rs issuing from C+Sc+R far before pterostigmal base; areolet open, with no traces of rm, 2-Rs as long as 2+3-M, meeting at distinctly obtuse angle; 3-Cu not aligned with 2cu-a. Hind wing with 1- Rs vanishingly short, nervellus not broken, 2-Cu absent. Ovipositor 0.3–0.5× as long as fore wing, ovipositor tip serrated.

Remarks. Unique within Novichneumoninae in having antennae with 12 flagellomeres. Differs from Novichneumon and Caloichneumon in having 2-Rs as long as 2+3-M; from Heteropimpla in having areolet open and hind wing with 1-Rs vanishingly short and 2-Cu lacking.
