Diagnosis.

Scapus subglobose, shorter ventrally than dorsally in lateral aspect; face flat, clypeus not separated from face by a ridge or carina; propodeum smooth medio-posteriorly (Fig. 7 ); fore wing vein 3RSa of fore wing 2.5-3.4 × vein 2RS (Figs 2 , 8 ); fore wing vein 1cu-a strongly postfurcal and curved (except E. interstitialis ), vein 1CUb 3.0-4.6 × 1CUa (Figs 6 , 12 ); hind wing vein 1r-m much longer than SC+R1 (Figs 6 , 12 ); hind wing vein 1r-m short longitudinal (Fig. 12 ) to shortly transverse (Fig. 6 ); surroundings of vein cu-a of hind wing setose; metasoma smooth and shiny, first tergite with smooth, polished, convex median area bordered laterally by pair of distinct furrows, with at most weak indication of rounded, dorsal carina anteriorly, without dorsolateral carinae; second metasomal tergite smooth, with at most a weak medio-anterior pair of short converging grooves but without mid-basal triangular area; second suture smooth; fifth and sixth tergites largely exposed and smooth; hypopygium large, reaching or projecting beyond apex of metasoma; ovipositor strongly exserted; dorsal valve of ovipositor with small pre-apical nodus.

The adult rectum is unique among braconids in having a large number (>12) of small rectal pads, compared with four in other genera ( Quicke et al. 1999).
