Key to the genera of Miracinae

1 Ovipositor sheath with tuft of setae apically ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 ); pair of posterior depressions of scutellum circular and distinctly separated ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ); apical antennomeres of ♀ shortened ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ); propodeum longitudinally or obliquely carinate and no medio-longitudinal carina or transverse carina ( Figs 2A–B View FIGURE 2 ), if with irregular medio-longitudinal carina antero-medially then fourth flagellomere with acute spine apico-ventrally ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ); vein 2RS of fore wing less than 2.0 × as long as vein (RS+M)b ( Fig. 2F View FIGURE 2 ); notauli long and crenulated ( Fig. 1F View FIGURE 1 ); vein R1 of fore wing longer than pterostigma (except in R. fereta ) ( Fig. 2F View FIGURE 2 )...................................................................
