The antennae are long. The mandibles have an additional tooth. The maxillary palps are elongated. The metapostnotum is the same length as the metanotum , but sometimes a little shorter. The propodeum is increasingly curved backwards. In the males it is slightly elongated. The wings are more or less tinted brown, the forewings have an apical ligament and only two submarginal cells, the second of which is much larger than the marginal cell. The tarsi of the front legs have tarsal ridges in the females, the individual thorns of which are short.
