Subfamily Medeterinae Lioy, 1864

Many genera in this subfamily are characteristically associated with tree trunks, making them likely to become entrapped in tree resin flows, some of which may later become amber inclusions. The female in Fig. 4G with its distinctly flattened posterior mesonotum, almost reniform postpedicel, and tibiae with minimal setation appears to be a member of this subfamily.
