Diagnosis.

Body medium-sized to large; terminal antennomeres sometimes acute apically; median antennomeres usually wider than long; in lateral view scapus without double margin at inner side apically and concave apico-laterally, ventrally longer than dorsally; eye glabrous, large (smaller in male) and weakly emarginate; face often sculptured; clypeus moderately narrow, often flattened and without dorsal carina; malar suture moderately developed, often rugose; labio-maxillary complex normal, not elongate; frons depressed, with a weak to moderately developed median groove; mesosoma largely smooth and shiny; notauli weak, often only present anteriorly; scutellar sulcus narrow and usually crenulate; mesopleural suture smooth; precoxal suture absent; metanotum convex medially, and with a short median carina, somewhat protruding; propodeum often smooth, without medio-longitudinal carina or groove; angle between veins 1-SR and C+SC+R of fore wing more than 75°; marginal cell moderated long, vein SR1 reaching the wing margin at least 0.8 × of distance between pterostigma and wing tip; second submarginal cell of fore wing usually more or less parallel-sided; fore wing vein r-m usually with both a distinct anterior and posterior bulla; fore wing vein 1-SR+M usually strongly bent after arising from 1-M, sometimes more or less evenly curved to straight; fore wing vein cu-a interstitial to distinctly postfurcal; fore wing vein 3-CU1 usually distinctly thickened posteriorly; hind wing vein 1r-m usually longer or at least as long as vein SC+R1, rarely shorter; apex of hind wing vein C+SC+R with more than one especially thickened bristle; claws simple; metasomal tergites usually largely strongly sculptured, rarely smooth; T I without medio-longitudinal carina, dorso-lateral carinae present or absent; T II usually with a weakly to strongly raised medio-basal triangular area which usually has similar sculpture as remainder of T; T II-IV often with strong antero-lateral areas and grooves; T III-V often with strongly crenulate transverse subposterior grooves, rarely absent; hypopygium rather acute apically; ovipositor usually as long as or longer than fore wing, with some (three or four) depressions and upper valve enlarged, subapically without dorsal nodus and ventral serrations (rarely distinct).

Biology.

Quicke (1983) reported only one species, Tryphocharia princeps (Blackburn) ( Coleoptera : Cerambycidae ) as a host of Z. cristata ( Szépligeti).

Distribution.

Afrotropical; Australasian; Oriental; Palaearctic.

Note.

This genus is newly recorded from the Oriental region.
