Ovipositor sheath long, at least as long as hind tibia + tarsus combined ( Fig. 129 View Figs 122-129 ). Antenna with usually less than 40 antennomeres ().

Ovipositor sheath less long to short, shorter than hind tibia + tarsus combined ( Figs 121 View Figs 108-121 ). Antenna more than 40 antennomeres.
3 (4) First tergite as long as broad behind () or somewhat broader behind than long (), beyond pair of spiracles more or less broadening ( Figs 116 View Figs 108-121 , 124 View Figs 122-129 ). Eye in dorsal view 1.25-1.3 times as long as temple, temple relatively less rounded ( Figs 110, 117, 118, 120 View Figs 108-121 ). Basal lobe of claw less large and less pointed ( Fig. 114 View Figs 108-121 ). First discal cell less high, 1-SR-M 1.3 times as long as m-cu ( Fig. 115 View Figs 108-121 ).

() and (1.3-)1.5-1.6 times as long as temple, temple relatively more rounded ( Figs 301, 310 View Figs 301-312 ). Basal lobe of claw large and clearly pointed ( Fig. 305 View Figs 301-312 ). First discal cell fairly high, 1-SR-M somewhat longer than 1-M ( Fig. 307 View Figs 301-312 ).
