Diagnosis (characteristics applicable for both sexes unless sex specified). Body length 4.0 - 13.0 mm. Antenna 20 - 26 segmented (variable even in the same species), flagellomeres without whitish segments forming a band; male with a series of linear tyloids on mid flagellomeres. Clypeus semi-elliptically notched apicomedially. Lower frontal areas lateral to antennal sockets depressed, but those above antennal sockets flat. SAE, in dorsal view, low, usually dull triangular, and shelf between SAE weakly and roundly concave. Temple sparsely punctate (especially in posterior part) to punctate-reticulate, and more or less shiny. Occipital carina usually forming regular thin lamina complete to hypostomal carina at level of mandibular base, or sometimes dorsomedially forming a broadened lamina filling the excavated occiput. Vertex flattened without median depression dorsally. Apical segment of labial palp widened and obtuse, more or less triangular. Mandibles not distinctly separated from eye, malar space at most as long as length of antennal pedicel. Mesoscutum and scutellar disc distinctly sculptured (mostly punctate-reticulate and partially ridged) except on a smooth anteromedial declivity of the mesoscutum; scutellar trough with several distinct longitudinal ridges. Metanotal disc slightly convex laterally, and often sculptured. Anterior propodeal sulcus smooth laterally without bottom keel, and narrowed slit-like medially. Forewing fuscous in anterior apical part to anterior half. Hind trochanter vertically grooved subapically, forming an apical right-triangle compartment, and appearing to be made of two segments; fore trochanter not distinctly broadened apically in lateral view, and distinctly longer than hind trochanter (reaching twice as long as); hind tarsus slightly or not modified. Propodeal foramen triangular in shape and more or less arched dorsomedially, bordered by a dull but strong carina. T1 largely concave medially, with arcuate fine ridges in the anterior part of concavity. T2 basomedially depressed, more or less flattened, often shiny and less punctured, and sometimes depression extending posteriorly. In females, S2 distinctly convex (as in T2), sometimes with an apicomedian production (but always not forming paired small teeth); in males, S2 much less swollen than in females, and its larger apicomedian part flat to weakly concave with sparser punctures than remainder S2; S3 short, rarely with a vertical tubercle subapically, but always without a distinct ledge anteriorly. Last three metasomal segments bent backwards to S2 or downwards.
