Diagnosis.
Body relatively small compared to members of the other cardiochiline genera, with strong sculpture, especially on mesosoma. Antenna thick (Fig. 1 A View Figure 1 ). Eyes bare (Fig. 1 B View Figure 1 ). Occipital carina well developed dorsally, absent ventrally (Fig. 1 E View Figure 1 ). Most of head with weak microsculpture. Median ocellus surrounded medially and laterally by a smooth, curved ridge. Pronotum bilobed anteriorly with a transverse plate dorsally. Notauli deeply impressed and entirely costate (Fig. 1 E View Figure 1 ). Median lobe of mesoscutum bilobed. Scutellar sulcus deep with a median carina (Fig. 1 E View Figure 1 ). Scutellum smooth and flat. Postscutellar depression absent (Fig. 1 E View Figure 1 ). Epicnemial carina strong and complete (Fig. 1 B View Figure 1 ). Precoxal sulcus well defined with ~ 5 costulae (Fig. 1 B View Figure 1 ). Propodeum rugose with a large, well-defined median areola. Apical abscissa of RS entirely nebulous and almost straight, very slightly curved posteriorly (Fig. 1 C View Figure 1 ). (RS + M) b about 3 × longer than m-cu vein (Fig. 1 C View Figure 1 ). 1 M about 3 × longer than m-cu vein; lacking distinct claval lobe. Veins M + Cu and M about equal in length. Hind basitarsomere swollen (Fig. 1 A View Figure 1 ). Tarsal claws rather large with pectinate base (Fig. 1 D View Figure 1 ). Spiracle of T 1 on membranous laterotergite (Fig. 1 B View Figure 1 ). T 1 wide with carinate lateral margins; medial area of T 1 with an inverse Y-shaped depression (Fig. 1 E View Figure 1 ).

Etymology.
The genus name is a patronym in honor of Dicky Sick Ki Yu, who developed Taxapad and made significant contributions to Braconidae and Ichneumonidae systematics research. Gender is feminine.
Notes.
The members of Dickyyuella Kang & Sharkey , gen. nov. will run to couplet 1 in the key to the world genera by Dangerfield et al. (1999), but it can be easily distinguished from members of Heteropteron and Neocardiochiles by the size, well-developed occipital carina, deep and broad notauli, large median areola on propodeum, and rugose propodeum.
