Type species. Clinocentrus antefurcalis Granger, 1949 .
Description. Head transverse (Figs 17, 28). Vertex smooth. Ocelli enlarged, arranged in triangle with base weakly larger than its sides or in almost equilateral triangle (Figs 17, 28). Occipital carina distinct, complete dorsally and ventrally, ventrally not joining with hypostomal carina and reaching lower margin of head capsule near mandible separate from hypostomal carina. Eyes glabrous, distinctly and widely emarginated opposite antennal sockets. Face convex, without pointed tooth between antennal sockets, without carina between antennal socket and eye (Figs 4, 18). Clypeal suture entirely distinct. Hypoclypeal depression mediumsized and subrounded. Malar suture absent. Mandible short, thick basally and strongly narrowed apically. Maxillary palp 6-segmented; labial palp 4-segmented, second labial segment thickened, third segment long. Scape without spine, its dorsal margin weakly longer than ventral margin (lateral view). First flagellomere approximately as long as second flagellomere or weakly longer. Apical flagellomere pointed distally and with distinct apical spine (Figs 2, 14).
Mesosoma (Figs 5, 6, 19, 30). Pronotum without pronope, its anterior flange wide. Propleuron with large posterodorsal flange. Notauli complete, deep anteriorly and shallow posteriorly. Mesoscutum mostly smooth, distinctly roundly elevated above pronotum. Scuto-scutellar suture distinct medially and fine or very fine laterally. Scutellar sulcus (prescutellar depression) deep and long, with high median carina; submedial carinae variable. Scutellum convex, without lateral carinae and subposterior depression. Metanotum long, with distinct dorsomedian carina. Epicnemial (prepectal) carina distinct and complete. Precoxal sulcus (sternaulus) long, narrow, weakly sinuate, more or less distinctly separated from median coxa. Metapleural flange short and wide, rounded apically. Propodeum with areas delineated by distinct carinae (Figs 20, 24).
Wings (Figs 9, 23). Vein r-rs (radial) arising from or almost from middle of pterostigma. Parastigma long and distinctly separated from pterostigma. Marginal (radial) cell not shortened. Second submarginal (second radiomedial) cell long and narrowed towards apex. Vein m-cu (recurrent) distinctly antefurcal. Veins 1-M (basal) and m-cu (recurrent) weakly divergent posteriorly or subparallel. Vein 1cu-a (nervulus) distinctly antefurcal. First discal (discoidal) cell wide, petiolate anteriorly. First subdiscal (brachial) cell long, wide, weakly swollen, sometimes weakly widened towards apex (Figs 12, 31). Vein M+CU (medio-cubital) entirely straight. Vein CU1a (parallel) vein arising weakly before or almost from middle of distal margin of first subdiscal (brachial) cell. Vein CU1b (brachial) distinctly oblique towards base of wing. In hind wing, Vein M+CU (first abscissa of medio-cubital) 0.7–0.8 times as long as vein 1M (second abscissa of medio-cubital). Vein m-cu (recurrent) present, but short or very short.
Legs. All femora narrow (Figs 8, 32). Hind coxa long and narrow, longer than propodeum (Fig. 24). Tarsal segments long and rather slender. Hind tibial spurs subequal, straight and entirely setose. Claws simple, short, distinctly curved apically.
Metasoma (Figs 11, 12, 25, 32). First tergite distinctly and linearly widened towards apex, with large dorsope, with distinctly convergent but not fused and not complete basal carinae (Figs 20, 24). Tergites behind first one weakly sclerotized, smooth or shagreened. Second suture very shallow, narrow, almost straight. Second tergites with separated laterotergites. Fourthseventh tergites distinctly exposed behind third tergite. Ovipositor (Figs 1, 11) straight, rather long, more or less thickened subapically, with distinct dorsal notch.
