is clearly separated from these three genera by the petiole much shorter than the gaster and the anterodorsal extension of the base of the gaster over the apex of the propodeum; none of their species have this combination of features. Instead, in these genera the supraorbital trabecula extends to about the level of the lateral ocelli, the petiole is usually as long or longer than the gaster, and gt1 does not project anteriorly over the propodeum though occasionally the base of gt1 may slant slightly anteriorly before receding uniformly and smoothly posteriorly to the anterior margin of gt2. It could perhaps be argued that the features of
