Etymology.
Leuros is Greek for smooth, level, polished and refers to the lack of notauli and smooth metasomal terga. Feminine.
Diagnosis.
Head and mesosoma orange and black (head with black in ocellar triangle only); metasomal terga predominantly black with some white. Fore wing slightly infuscate in apical half. Antennal sockets not margined with carinae. Interantennal space with a flat triangular elevation that narrows to a short ridge posteriorly and then divides into two short indistinct carinae that approach the median ocellus. Temple rounded in dorsal view. Third labial palpomere small, less than 1/3 length of apical palpomere. Notauli completely absent. Scutellar triangle smooth with weak sparse punctures. Ventral margin of hind coxal cavities situated below dorsal margin of metasomal foramen. Pegs on anterior surface of fore tibia absent. Hind trochantellus lacking longitudinal carinae. Second submarginal cell of fore wing minute, cell about the same diameter as wing veins. First median tergite smooth, lacking microsculpture and carina. Second median tergite wider than long. Second median tergite smooth.

Known only from the type species from Thailand. The few Australian

for which we have COI data do not belong here.
