Description of subgenus.

Vertex densely reticulate-punctate. Ocelli arranged in obtuse triangle. Eye covered by dense and long setae. Antenna long, thickened (especially medially) and setiform. Flagellar segments always longitudinal in apical half of antenna. Mesoscutum densely and distinctly punctate. Prescutellar depression short and crenulate. Prepectal carina laterally absent. Precoxal sulcus distinct, relatively wide, entirely crenulate or rugulose. Propodeum almost entirely rugulose-reticulate, often with areas delineated by carinae. Fore wing with large pterostigma. Radial vein (r) always with one abscissa, arising from pterostigma distinctly distant from first radiomedial vein (2 - SR). Discoidal (discal) cell anteriorly always sessile. Recurrent vein (m-cu) weakly postfurcal or interstitial to first radiomedial vein (2 - SR). Hind femur wide; hind tibia distinctly clavate. First tergite of metasoma subparallel or weakly narrowed towards apex behind distinct spiracular tubercles, entirely rugose-reticulate. Suture between first and second tergites present, usually distinct, densely crenulate. Second and following tergites smooth, only second one shortly rugulose basally; suture between second and third tergites very weak, shallow and smooth (as trace). Ovipositor short.
