Type species.
Orientopius curiosigaster Fischer, 1966 (original designation).
Diagnosis.
Clypeus truncate medio-ventrally ( Figs 6 View Figures 3–14 , 20 View Figures 15–25 ); labrum exposed ( Figs 20, 22 View Figures 15–25 ); occipital carina present latero-dorsally and weakly or not protruding in lateral view ( Figs 2 View Figures 1–2 , 13 View Figures 3–14 , 23 View Figures 15–25 ); head comparatively long in anterior view ( Figs 6 View Figures 3–14 , 20 View Figures 15–25 ) and malar space longer than basal width of mandible ( Figs 13 View Figures 3–14 , 22 View Figures 15–25 ); malar suture complete and distinctly impressed ( Figs 6 View Figures 3–14 , 22 View Figures 15–25 ); inner sides of antennal sockets normal, not protruding ( Fig. 10 View Figures 3–14 ); around base of middle coxa no circular carina; medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum present ( Figs 7 View Figures 3–14 , 16 View Figures 15–25 , 33 View Figures 32–33 ); notauli absent posteriorly or as row of punctures ( Figs 7 View Figures 3–14 , 16 View Figures 15–25 , 33 View Figures 32–33 ); postpectal carina variable, usually partly present medio-ventrally; vein 3-SR of fore wing about as long as vein 2-SR ( Figs 3 View Figures 3–14 , 15 View Figures 15–25 , 32 View Figures 32–33 ); metasoma with carapace ( Figs 1, 2 View Figures 1–2 , 18 View Figures 15–25 , 32, 33 View Figures 32–33 ), but less developed in males ( Figs 13, 14 View Figures 3–14 ); second tergite sculptured and distinctly longer than third tergite ( Figs 1, 2 View Figures 1–2 , 14 View Figures 3–14 , 18 View Figures 15–25 , 32, 33 View Figures 32–33 ); dorsal carinae of first tergite variable, separated basally ( Fig. 14 View Figures 3–14 ) or medially united in a median carina ( Fig. 18 View Figures 15–25 ); second metasomal suture distinctly crenulate ( Figs 14 View Figures 3–14 , 18 View Figures 15–25 ); third tergite of female with a sharp lateral crease ( Figs 1, 2 View Figures 1–2 , 32 View Figures 32–33 ).
Notes.
Orientopius Fischer, 1966, is closely related to Coleopius Fischer, 1964; both have the female metasomal carapace covering the fourth and following tergites, the second metasomal tergite distinctly (1.3-1.9 times) longer than the third tergite, the third tergite with a sharp lateral crease and the second submarginal cell of the fore wing short. They can be separated as follows:
| 1 | Malar suture complete and distinctly impressed; medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum present; second metasomal suture distinctly crenulate | Orientopius Fischer |
| - | Malar suture incomplete and obsolescent; medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum absent; second metasomal suture finely sculptured, without distinct crenulae | Coleopius Fischer |
