Upper tooth normally wide; median tooth usually rather narrow and long (sometimes wide and short); lower tooth wide and with small angle ventrodistally. Anterior tentorial pits short, remaining far from edge of eyes. First flagellar segment distinctly shorter than 2 nd segment or of similar length. Mesoscutum with mesoscutal pit usually present; notauli usually present only in anterior part of mesoscutum (sometimes reaching mesoscutal pit); precoxal sulcus always present; propodeum with different types of sculpture and sometimes with areola. In fore wing, vein 3-SR longer than 2-SR; m-cu antefurcal or (sometimes) interstitial; first subdiscal cell open, 2CU subinterstitial, hind wing with m-cu absent, r-m and M+CU much shorter than 1M or cu-a absent. Ovipositor sheath sparsely setose but glabrous basally.</p><p>Hosts</p><p>Larvae of Drosophilidae and Tephritidae .</p><p>Excluded species</p><p>According to the key by Fischer (1963) Phaenocarpa cristata Szépligeti, 1915 from the Democratic Republic of the Congo should have an open first subdiscal cell of the fore wing and, therefore, should be included in Asobara Foerster, 1863 . The type series was deposited in the former Naturhistorisches Museum Hamburg (now Biozentrum Grindel und Zoologisches Museum), but could not be found and was most likely lost during the 2 nd World War. The too short description (ovipositor sheath about as long as body and body length 5 mm) makes it likely that it concerns a species of Phaenocarpa Foerster, 1862, which is excluded from this revision.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/310887BDFFC5FFF9FD93F96FFD8E634A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
