Diagnosis.

Seticornuta species are moderate sized about 5-12 mm and generally blackish or black and yellow. Mandibles not twisted; labrum exposed when mandibles closed (Fig. 3A). Lower face moderately convex; upper face produced upwards into a small tooth between bases of antennae, but projection does not reach frons. Posterior part of head moderately to steeply declivous behind posterior ocelli (Fig. 3C, F). Propodeum moderately short, rather flat and more abruptly declivous posteriorly, with very strong median longitudinal carinae. Tergite I short with strong lateral and median longitudinal carinae. The New World genus Leurus is similar but the mandibles of Seticornuta species are slenderer and flanged ( Gauld et al. 2002). New World species differ from Old World in their smaller size, lower number of antennal flagellomeres and the weakly concave apical margin of the clypeus.
