Second joint of the flagellum not longer than the Ist, which is 
also short; face short, usually rugulose; clypeus very small ; 
mandibles broad. Furrows of the mesonotum abbreviated in most 
of the species, the point of their convergence indicated by an 
oblong fovea, which is not to be confounded with the ordinary 
antescutellar fovea ; this latter is deeply sunk, crenate, or striate ; 
metathorax flattened, sometimes carinated in the middle, and 
rugulose ; furrow of the mesopleure crenate or rugose. Stigma 
distinct, oblong, emitting the radial nervure generally from its 
posterior or outer half; anal nervure not interstitial ;.2nd cubital 
areolet never larger than the 1st; 1st intercubital nervure as long 
as the 2nd abscissa of the radial nervure, or longer ; Ist cubital 
areolet separated from the 1st discoidal ; pobrachial areolet of the 
hindwings half as long as the prebrachial. Abdomen somewhat 
depressed ; Ist segment oblong, striolate, with median or sub- 
median tubercles, from which to the base it is gradually narrowed; 
this segment is generally about one-half longer than its apical 
breadth ; if longer still, and more slender, it makes the abdomen 
subpetiolate. Terebra slightly exserted.
