Diagnosis
. Similar to
Pareniaca
in that the scrobal depression exhibits a secondary tooth; horn narrow and mostly sharp at apex in contrast to the wide scrobal depression; mandibles not elongate, clypeus bare or with short setae on either side, epicnemium distinctly elevated mesally with a narrow mesodiscrimenal groove that does not cross the ventral section of the epicnemial carina (
Delvare & Copeland 2018
: fig. 70), and hypopygium without long and paired apical setae. The anteromedian areola of the propodeum is at most somewhat longer than wide and the strigose area on the first gastral tergite is well expanded in the two dimensions, reaching at least one third of the dorsal surface of the tergite and occupying most of its width. These two characters distinguish
Eniacomorpha
from
Pareniaca
