Head: head globose; antennal sockets distinctly separated from each other by at least 0.5 times its diameter; frons almost flat, without median carina or furrows; ocelli arranged in equilateral triangle; eye with distinct and sparse setae; gena and temple smooth; malar suture absent; first flagellomere slightly shorter than scape and pedicel combined, slightly longer than second flagellomere; antenna with 16–28 antennomeres; occipital carina meeting hypostomal carina before mandible. Mesosoma: Length of mesosoma about two times its maximum width; neck of pronotum fairly long; pronotal crest conspicuous; mesoscutum declivous anteriorly; mesoscutal lobes smooth and polished medially; notauli complete and strongly impressed; scutellar sulcus deep, with its height 0.8–0.9 times height of scutellar disc; precoxal sulcus complete and scrobiculate, as long as mesopleuron; prepectal carina coarse and complete; propodeum evenly curved and strongly rugose-areolate, with at least one pair of conspicuous apico-lateral projections; propodeal bridge absent. Legs: fore tibia with a row of 7–8 stout spines; middle tibia without spines; femora without dorsal protuberances; hind coxa without basal tubercle. Wings: partially reduced to well-developed wings; fore wing veins r-m and 2RS present; m-cu arising interstitial or slightly antefurcal with vein 2RS, cu-a distinctly postfurcal with vein 1M; first subdiscal cell open at apex; hind wing vein M+CU equal length of vein 1M; cu-a present, m-cu absent; stigma present on male hind wing. Metasoma: length of first metasomal tergum 1.3–1.6 times its apical width, apical width about 2.0–2.3 times basal width; basal sternal plate (acrosternite) about 0.33–0.5 times length of tergum; suture between second and third metasomal tergites absent; second metasomal tergite at least sculptured basally; third metasomal tergite usually smooth, sometimes sculptured basally; remaining metasomal tergites entirely smooth and polished; ovipositor about same length of metasoma.
