Belongs within: Larrini.

Liris is a diverse, cosmopolitan genus of mostly black, ground-nesting wasps that usually take crickets of the family Gryllidae as prey (Bohart & Menke 1976).

Characters (from Bohart & Menke 1976): Upper inner angle of eye not bordered by deep sulcus; midocellar lens usually convex, hindocellar scars very small; frons and vertex dull to moderately shining (rarely highly polished), sometimes densely micropunctate (especially in subgenus Motes); frontal line a deep impression which is interrupted at transverse swelling; scape usually long, slender (shorter, more robust in Motes), scape and pedicel surfaces similar to that of flagellum, flagellomeres usually longer than broad and with placoids in male; clypeus often with a median longitudinal ridge, free margin usually with a rounded or truncate median lobe (triangular in some males) which often has a median notch, free margin of lobe often with a polished, asetose bevel, clypeal margin usually concave laterally; labrum transverse or quadrangular, hidden or iccasionally projecting slightly beyond clypeus, free margin usually with a median notch; inner margin of mandible usually with one or two subbasal teeth, or rarely mandible apex with subapical tooth; externoventral margin at most with a weak subbasal V-shaped notch or with a large semicircular notch or strong angulation; dorsum of collar in both sexes usually below level of scutum, and usually thin (sharp-edged), wedge-shaped and usually fitting closely with scutum; notauli usually present; propodeum rather long, rectangular or somewhat rounded posteriorly, propodeal surface dull to strongly shining, dorsum and posterior face variably sculptured, sides usually smooth or diagonally ridged, rarely with very fine pinprick punctures; terga usually dull and often with transverse apical fasciae, tergum I with lateral carina, II sometimes with a weak carina basally; female sternum II usually with a paw of flattened, oval areas basally, which are separated by a basomedian longitudinal ridge or bulge; male sterna sometimes with special erect or decumbent vestiture arranged in apical rows or tufts, sternum II sometimes strongly bulging basally, hindmargin of sternum II sometunes with a median process, sternum VII sometimes modified, sterna III–VII sometimes depressed; female with a pygidial plate which is defined by carinae, surface glabrous, pruinose, or partially to fully covered with appressed setae, a few scattered erect hairs sometimes intermixed in latter case, surface dull or shining, punctate or impunctate, apex usually with a transverse row of stout setae, sometimes emarginate; male sometimes with a pygidial plate, surface covered with fine decumbent setae and apex broadly emarginate; femora and tibiae usually slender in both sexes, closing face of male hindfemur sometimes flattened or excavate, foretibia in both sexes without spine rows on outer face except in a few exceptional species in which foretarsal rake is strongly developed, midtibia with two or three and hindtibia with two spine rows, but each often composed of two or three slender wide-spaced spines, hindtibia usually at least angulate in cross stxtion or with a longitudinal carina, the edge of which is polished; foretarsus with or without a rake; last female tarsomere of mid and hind legs usually angled in profile, sides parallel on apical half in dorsal view and venter with dense hairmat, last male tarsomere normal, female claws usually long and prehensile, inner margin of claw usually simple; recurrent veins of forewing sometimes joining before reaching submarginal cell; apex of male sternum VIII rounded or truncate, often emarginate: volsella long and slender, sometimes exceeding length of aedeagus.
