Diagnosis.

The genus can be identified by the following combination of character states: (1) clypeus not divided in anterior and posterior parts; (2) clypeal margin narrow, apically bilobate; (3) occipital carina more or less complete, mediodorsally dipped, sometimes weak; (4) propodeum with a trace of the lateromedian longitudinal carinae discernible anteriorly; (5) fore wing with 3 rs-m present; (6) hind wing with distal abscissa of CU present, joining cu-a either closer to 1 AA than to M, or closer to M than to AA; (7) male (in most species) with middle coxa modified in one or two concavities on outer surface and basal, apical and/or centrally tubercles; (8) female with basal lobe on tarsal claws; (9) tergite II with oblique groves cutting off depressed triangular areas anterolaterally; (10) male with sternite IX transverse, posteriorly slightly convex; (11) ovipositor 3.00-13.00 × as long as hind tibia; (12) upper valve smooth and lower valve of ovipositor laterally expanded to partially enclose upper valve.
