Morphologically, this genus can easily be distinguished from other genera of Pimplini by the yellow face of the male, the mandibular teeth of equal length, the strongly notched inner margin of the eye, the non-divided clypeus (Fig. 5), and the hook-like (apically down-curved) ovipositor tip (Fig. 16) ( Townes 1969).
