In 2002, the genus was synonymized with the more speciose genus Andricus but has since been reinstated.[1] The genus can be differentiated by the uniform sculpture (texture) across the entire mesosoma, head, and dorsal surface of legs.[1] Other genera have at least some variation in sculpture within and/or between these structures.
Appearance
