Spurs hind tibiae reach the middle of the first segment of hind tarsus. Areola on propodeum small, hexagonal but open behind. Areolet of the wings present, second recurrent vein leaving near its middle. Nervellus intercepted. First tergite with a very weak glymma. Females of some species have a distinctive white ring on the antennae. Head and thorax black, metasoma usually red with black markings.
