Diagnosis. Mandibles elongate, longer than length of clypeus. Clypeus little longer than wide, shallowly emarginate or widely truncate apically ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ). Cephalic foveae absent. Vertex narrow and sloping behind lateral ocelli. Thorax globular in shape, longer than wide. Anterior face of pronotum smooth and shiny without medial pits or foveae. Pronotal carina generally absent. Notauli absent. Epicnemial carina absent. Pretegular carina present. Tegula longer than wide, weakly emarginate posteriorly, posterior end not reaching end of parategula. Axillary fossa wide. Sutellum weakly convex. Metanotum not dentate. Propodeal dorsum below plane of metanotum, sloping posteroventrally. Superior carina absent. Propodeal orifice wide dorsally. Submarginal carina not produced as pointed/rounded process above valvula. Propodeal vuvlula not separated from submarginal carina. Metasoma petiolate ( Fig. 65 View FIGURES 64 – 73 ), petiole length 1.25 × or more than 1.25x length of mesosoma. T1 usually smooth, elongate ( Fig. View FIGURES 64 – 73 65). S1 rather gradually widening towards apex, lateral margins of T1 not meeting ventrally usually visible along entire petiole length. T2 not petiolate at base. S2 not concave medially. T2 without apical lamella. Mid tibia with one apical spur. SMC2 basally acute.
