Diagnosis. Scapus elongate, 2.6–2.9 × longer ventrally than its maximum width and protruding ventrally, rounded subbasally and inner side without distinct ledge apically; face evenly convex; propodeum flat medio-posteriorly in lateral view; vein 3-SR of fore wing 2.5–3.4 × vein 2-SR; vein 1r-m of hind wing shorter than vein SC+R1; vein cu-a of fore wing subinterstitial or shortly postfurcal and perpendicular; fore wing elongate; hind wing with 3–5 subbasal bristles; surroundings of vein cu-a of hind wing setose; median carina of first tergite low and medial area gradually lowered anteriorly in lateral view; second metasomal tergite below basal smooth areas striate; anterolateral areas of second tergite large and touching large medio-basal area; median carina of second tergite medium sized and weak; antero-lateral grooves of third tergite medium-sized and remaining far removed from each other; maximum width of third tergite 2.4–4.1 × its medial length; third and fourth tergites with transverse subposterior groove (often crenulate but smooth in Chinese spp.); fifth and sixth tergites largely exposed and flat; subapically upper valve of ovipositor with small nodus, its lower valve fully exposed and with small teeth ventrally; hypopygium long and acute apically, reaching level of apex of metasoma; ovipositor sheath with short setae and 0.7–1.0 × as long as body.
