Abstract
This small, aberrant group of small species is characterized by the reduction of antennal segmentation and mouthparts in both sexes: Antennae 5-segmented (1121), lacking the third funicular segment; mandibles minute or absent; maxillary palpi 1-segmented. General coloration yellow; wings uniformly setose, hyaline or nearly so. The propodeum is short, not exceeding 4 times length of the metanotum or 3/4 length of scutellum; the shape of the propodeal crenulae and other morphological characters vary considerably among the members of this group.
