Front wing 3.2 to 10.0 mm. long; body rather elongate, but the 

 thorax sometimes rather short; frons unarmed; clypeus moderately 

 large, weakly to strongly convex, its apex more or less truncate, 

 almost always with a median apical point; mcsoscutum rather long 

 and strongly convex to moderately short and less strongly convex, 

 usually polished or subpolished and with strong punctures but some- 

 times more or less mat and sometimes the punctures weak; notaulus 

 sharp, extending beyond middle of mesoscutum; epomia rather long 

 and strong; prepectal carina reaching center of hind margin of pro-

 or almost so, its apical carina often forming indistinct sublateral 

 crests; propodeal spiracle circular to elliptic; areolet of moderate
