Diagnosis. Frontal depression on the head variable: many species can be recognized by the pronounced frontal depression on the head which is often rimmed by a carina ( Fig. 6 ), while in some species it is only moderately impressed and margined only in its upper arc ( Fig. 5 ) or almost absent and faintly indicated by weak rim around the arc. Mandible bidentate. Skaphion never developed. Median carina on mesoscutum usually complete ( Fig. 11 ) but is absent ( Fig. 13 ) in a few species. Metascutellum distinct, usually excavate dorsally ( Fig. 12 ) and emarginated apically, but flat ( Fig. 14 ) and nearly semicircular in some species. Fore wing submarginal vein distant from wing margin ( Figs 3, 4 ), marginal vein very short ( Figs 3, 4 ), postmarginal vein usually absent ( Fig. 4 ), if present then much shorter than stigmal vein ( Fig. 3 ). A detailed generic description of Oxyscelio can be found in Burks et al. (2013a).
