); ocelli present; occipital carina complete, or incomplete, or absent; palpal formula usually 6/3; occasionally palpal formula different (4/2, or 5/
3 in
Gonadryinus

Pseudodryinus

); mandible usually with four teeth becoming regularly progressively larger from dorsal to ventral tooth (as in
Fig. 6B
); occasionally (in
Pseudodryinus
Olmi
) mandible with four irregular teeth; antenna without tufts of long setae (
Figs 117B, C
); pronotal tubercle present (
Fig. 117C
); epicnemium visible, because lateral regions of prothorax not continuous with mesopleura (as in
Fig. 7D
); forewing with three cells enclosed by pigmented veins (C, R and 1Cu) (
Figs 117B, C
); forewing with 2r-rs&Rs vein and pterostigma (
Figs 117B, C
); protarsus chelate (
Figs 117B, C
); chela with rudimentary claw (
Fig. 126F
); protrochanter long and slender (
Fig. 118C

Dryinus
Latreille
) 1/1/1.
♂

,
118A
): fully winged (
Figs 117D
,
118A
); palpal formula 6/3; occipital carina complete or incomplete; mandible usually with one–three teeth (three teeth becoming regularly progressively larger from dorsal to ventral tooth (
Fig. 8A
)); occasionally (in
Pseudodryinus
Olmi
) mandible with four irregular teeth; epicnemium visible, because lateral regions of prothorax not continuous with mesopleura (

World species
. 344 species are known,
62 in
the Afrotropical region.
World genera
. Nine genera are known, three in the Afrotropical region.
Remarks
. Haliday is considered to be the author of
Dryininae
based on the principle of coordination (Art. 36 ICZN;
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999
). The author of the family is also author of the nominate subfamily whose name is derived from the family name. This holds even though Kieffer was the first author to introduce the subfamily division.
The following five genera have not been recorded from the Afrotropical region:
Cretodryinus
Ponomarenko 1975
(fossil in amber from
Russia
, Taimyr Peninsula),
Harpactosphecion
Haupt 1944
(fossil in amber from
the Dominican
Republic and Baltic area),
Hybristodryinus
Engel 2005
(fossil in
Myanmar
amber),
Megadryinus
Richards 1953
(Neotropical)
,
Palaeodryinus
Olmi & Bechly 2001
(fossil in Baltic amber).
