Eucharitinae

Specimen of Substilbula pallidiclava (missing gaster), photographed by John M. Heraty.

Belongs within: Eucharitidae.
Contains: Tricoryna, Austeucharis, Chalcura, Schizaspidia.

The Eucharitinae are a group of wasps in which many species of which have the scutellum strongly produced apically.

Characters (from Bouček 1988): Male antennae often with branches; pronotum dorsally strongly shortened and mostly concealed by the head; prepectus evidently fused with pronotum, although fusion sometimes indicated as a groove or carina; axillae well developed; scutellum often apically produced.
