Individuals of Oodera are diagnosed by the following combination of character states: head with deep scrobes in the form of an inverted V; parascrobal area of the head crested (= corona of Werner and Peters 2018 ); mesosoma dorsally flattened, with pronotum (no.) usually longer than wide, pentagonal (rounded in few cases), without differentiated collar, widened anteriorly and narrowed towards mesoscutum; mesoscutum (msc.) with star-like grooves, arranged radially from almost one point, notauli sulcate, V-shaped, extended to anterior margin of mesoscutellum; axillae conspicuously large, triangular, greatly advanced anterior to mesoscutellum; mesoscutellum (sct.) longitudinally ridged dorsally, with smoother coraceous apex; profemur (fm1.) distinctly enlarged, oval-shaped, with a row of oblique strong black bristles and a comb of peculiar pegs along its outer ventral margin; protibia (tb1.) curved, strongly carinate along its dorsal and ventral margins; mesocoxae with small membranous area anterior to each one; postmarginal vein (pmv.) of forewing slightly longer or slightly shorter than marginal vein (mav.); metasomal petiole very short, membranous medio-ventrally; ovipositor (ovp.) sheaths varying in length among the different species, from shorter than, to distinctly longer than metasomal length (mts.l) ( Boucek 1958 , 1988 ; Gibson 1989 , 2003 ; Boucek and Rasplus 1991 ; Werner and Peters 2018 ).
