Pronotum with transverse carina, absent in few species. Notaulus complete; anterior half of parapsidal signum continuous. Metapectal-propodeal disc with metapostnotal carina incomplete, and not fused with posterior carina; propodeal declivity sculptured. Mesopleuron with all foveae well defined. Female genitalia with 2vf (second valvifer) very swollen apically. Male genitalia with basiparamere mostly dorsal; cuspis bifid.
Remarks.
Some characters were observed for the first time in

Fig. 5F
); the serrate antenna (
Fig. 14O
); the antenna with second and third flagellomeres with distal spine projection (
Fig. 15A
); the very long and slender clypeus (
Fig.
6I
); the clypeal carina fused and indistinct from the clypeus (
Fig. 6G
) or the carina very swollen (
Fig. 3E
); the transverse pronotal carina with a series of foveae (
Fig. 15E
); the pronotal disc with a median longitudinal line (
Fig. 15F
); the posterior pronotal sulcus with a series of foveae (
Fig. 15E
); the posterior mesoscutellar sulcus present (
Fig. 15D
); the first pair metapostnotal carina and metapostnotal-propodeal suture convergent or fused (
Fig. 15J
