Diagnosis.

Body medium-sized. Median segments of antenna square or slightly longer than wide (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 3 View Figure 3 ), apical antennal segment rather acute, with short spine; in lateral view scapus nearly truncate and dorsally longer than ventrally (Figs 2 k View Figure 2 , 4 i View Figure 4 ); eye glabrous, not or weakly emarginated (Figs 2 g View Figure 2 , 4 g View Figure 4 ); face punctate, and often with a more or less distinct triangular median area (Figs 2 g View Figure 2 , 4 g View Figure 4 ); clypeus with distinct dorsal carina (Figs 2 g View Figure 2 , 4 g View Figure 4 ); malar suture relatively long and distinct (Figs 2 i View Figure 2 , 4 i View Figure 4 ); labio-maxillary complex normal, not elongate (Figs 2 i View Figure 2 , 4 i View Figure 4 ); frons distinctly concave behind antennal sockets, with deep median groove, smooth (Figs 2 h View Figure 2 , 4 h View Figure 4 ); mesosoma largely smooth and shiny (Figs 2 c View Figure 2 , 4 c View Figure 4 ); notauli smooth and moderately depressed (Figs 2 d View Figure 2 , 4 d View Figure 4 ); mesoscutum smooth and evenly setose; scutellar sulcus comparatively wide, with developed crenulae (Figs 2 d View Figure 2 , 4 d View Figure 4 ); metanotum with or without mid-longitudinal carina; propodeum with two sub-medial carinae and nearly reaching to its anterior margin, and with distinctly lamelliform carinae sub-laterally (Figs 2 d View Figure 2 , 4 j View Figure 4 ); angle between veins 1 - SR and C + SC + R of fore wing about 50 °; fore wing vein SR 1 not reaching the tip (Figs 2 a View Figure 2 , 4 a View Figure 4 ); fore wing veins 1 - SR + M and 1 - M not or rarely weakly curved subbasally (Figs 2 a View Figure 2 , 4 a View Figure 4 ); fore wing vein cu-a interstitial; fore wing vein CU 1 b medium-sized, slender and reclivous (Figs 2 a View Figure 2 , 4 a View Figure 4 ); vein 3 - CU 1 of fore wing slender; fore wing vein r oblique and shorter than width of pterostigma; second submarginal cell of fore wing long and narrow, nearly subparallel-sided or slightly narrowing distally (Figs 2 a View Figure 2 , 4 a View Figure 4 ); hind wing vein SC + R 1 distinctly longer than vein 1 r-m (Figs 2 b View Figure 2 , 4 b View Figure 4 ); hind wing with only 1 hamulus on vein R 1, membrane largely glabrous near vein cu-a (Figs 2 b View Figure 2 , 4 b View Figure 4 ); claws medium-sized, ventral lobe obtuse (Figs 2 f View Figure 2 , 4 f View Figure 4 ); metasomal tergites largely sculptured; median area of first metasomal tergite strongly convex, with well-developed dorsal and dorso-lateral carinae and a medio-longitudinal carina, often connected with several transverse carinae laterally (Figs 2 j View Figure 2 , 4 k View Figure 4 ); second metasomal tergite with small smooth medio-basal area, and connected to median carina posteriorly, median carina extends up to posterior margin of tergite and lateral grooves developed (Figs 2 e View Figure 2 , 4 e View Figure 4 ); second metasomal suture deep and crenulate (Figs 2 e View Figure 2 , 4 e View Figure 4 ); third and fourth metasomal tergites with antero-lateral grooves, and latero-posterior corner protruding, more or less smooth (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 3 View Figure 3 ); third to fifth metasomal tergites with rather weak transverse posterior grooves (Figs 2 e View Figure 2 , 4 e View Figure 4 ); hypopygium medium-sized and slightly apically acute, not emarginate medio-apically; ovipositor normal, subapically upper valve with nodus, and its lower valve with teeth ventrally (Figs 2 l View Figure 2 , 4 l View Figure 4 ).
