Gena and mesopleuron more or less smooth, distinctly punctate (

). Clypeus large, lenticular. Malar space 0.7–0.9× as long as basal mandibular width (
Fig. 44
).Antennal flagellum tapered towards apex. Notaulus distinct, with irregular wrinkles (
Fig. 44
). Foveate groove of mesopleuron deep and long, distinctly upcurved anteriorly, with transverse wrinkles (
Fig. 45
). Propodeal spiracle moderately large, separated from pleural carina by 1.5–2.0× diameter of spiracle (
Figs 44, 45
). First tergite smooth laterally and dorsally (
Figs 44, 46
); postpetiole in dorsal view much wider than petiole; glymma large, joining by distinct furrow to ventral part of postpetiole (
Figs 44, 46
). Thyridial depression slightly elongate (
Fig. 48
). Ovipositor short and robust, apically strongly upcurved and with lower valve expanded ventrally; ovipositor with two dorsal subapical depressions or notches and two more or less distinct rounded teeth before these depressions (
