Diagnosis
The genus Megastylus can be easily separated from other congeners by the following characteristics: presence of large ovoid scape considerably inflated and obliquely truncate about 50° from transverse; long antennae and legs; absence of areolet in the fore wing of all described species; thin and short ovipositor hardly surpassing metasoma; first segment of metasoma fairly long and almost straight; basal flagellomere two or three times as long as following ones. As a rule, female flagellum is covered with long setae; tyloids on male flagellomeres are lacking.
