11. Females with transverse white stripe (a1) on face at level of toruli, bordered above and below by dark stripes, although this pattern is sometimes reduced to a simple white spot near each eye (not present at all in males). Mandibles long, with many tiny denticles. Flagellomeres (b1) expanded in males. Scutellum (c1) without submedian or sublateral grooves.

Paraolinx Ashmead, 1894

11'. Face without similar pattern (though sometimes with transverse black stripes). Mandibles not as above, with a few equal denticles or without denticles.
