. MALE. Clypeus deeply concave. Mandible robust, widened apically, tridentate at apex with additional large inner tooth; ventral margin not emarginate basally. Scape bicarinate ventrally; F1 0.7 × as long as wide. Notaulus complete, reaching anterior margin of mesoscutum; parapsidal signum scarcely visible; mesoscutellum punctate; mesopleuron anteriorly with medial deep glabrous depression, without or with precoxal denticle. S2 without basomedial carina and without lateral felt line (except
A. davidi
(

)
with trace of felt line); S8 (hypopygium) without tubercle or carina; genital volsella wide, without basal external lobe, with long setae on inner and ventral margins. FEMALE. Genal carina distinct, forming sharp hypostomal tooth; clypeus with subventral transverse ridge; mandible slender tridentate, wide tridentate, or broadly expanded; prementum armed with posterior rounded tubercle. Mesosomal lateral margins subparallel or convergent posteriorly; prescutellar scales absent; scutellar scale obliterated; metanotal-propodeal suture obliterated. Protarsus with external comb of long spines. T2 with posterior band of pale setae; pygidial plate subconvex with lateral margins defined by weak carinae, subparallel or slightly convergent anteriorly; surface of pygidial plate smooth or longitudinally rugose.

Twenty species (one with two subspecies); 15 from females only, five from males only. Predominantly from the Oriental Region but two species penetrate to the Palaearctic part of

Okayasu
et al.
2021
); most species (15/20) are known from females only.
