Head with frontal grooves weakly to strongly V-shaped; scrobal grooves always ending separately on frontal grooves, rarely united before frontal grooves (Fig. 1 A); clypeus usually set off from surrounding by distinct suture (Fig. 3 A). Antenna (Figs 1 C, 2 C) weak, tapering distally, either with three funiculars and two clavomeres, or with four funiculars and one clavomere; clava with a long spicula. Mesosoma shiny, with finely engraved reticulation, the meshes of which may be lengthened in various direction; pronotum strongly reduced dorsally; propodeum smooth, slightly convex transversely, without median carina. Fore wing with long setae, especially on marginal vein; marginal setae long; sparse pilosity below marginal vein; postmarginal vein well developed, rarely shorter than stigmal vein.
