General features.

Head. Transversally ovate, smooth and shiny, slightly wider than it is high from the anterior view. Setae below and between toruli, without setae above toruli. Setae few and scattered on vertex, many setae on face. Transfacial line 1.1 –1.2× height of compound eye. Malar space 0.3 –0.4× height of compound eye (Fig. 28[1]).

Antenna. Female: 13-segmented, filiform. All antennomers have sparse setae (Fig. 28[7]). Male: 14-segmented, filiform. All antennomers have sparse setae (Fig. 28[3]).

Mesosoma. Pronotum entirely covered by long setae; two thick and long carinae are clearly visible (Fig. 28[6]). Mesoscutum smooth, shiny and round in dorsal view with scattered setae (Fig. 27[2, 5]). Scutellum smooth and shiny with scattered setae that are more abundant on apex. Propodeum covered with setae; two thin carinae are well-separated (Fig. 28[9]).

Forewing. Longer than body, 1.3 –1.6× as long as mesosoma and metasoma combined. Covered with dense pubescence; marginal setae present. Radial cell usually closed, very few species with partially or completely open radial cell.

Metasoma. Anterior part has an incomplete ring of setae, is glabrous at centre and wider laterally. Metasoma smooth and shiny, T3 and T4 clearly distinguished (Fig. 28[9]).

Distribution.

Cosmopolitan (Ferrer-Suay et al. 2012).

Hosts.

Endoparasitoids of Aphidiinae ( Hymenoptera : Braconidae ) and Aphelininae ( Hymenoptera : Braconidae ) that are endoparasitoids of aphids ( Hemiptera : Aphididae ) ( Fergusson 1986; Menke and Evenhuis 1991).
