Diagnosis. Vertex mostly smooth with sparse pubescence near epicranial suture (Fig. 31); face with pubescence, somewhat convex, 1.40 × wider than high (Fig. 32); notauli distinctly crenulate basally and protruding as tubercles at edge of anterior declivity (Fig. 35); mesoscutum sparsely setose (Fig. 35); T 1 2.30 × longer than apical width, apical width 1.22 × longer than basal width (Fig. 35); 1 cu-a small, interstitial (Fig. 36); propodeum without longitudinal ridge in basal 1 / 3, smooth and then with large medial, square areola with dense pubescence (Fig. 35).

Discussion
Remarks.Tanycarpa lineata and T. chors appear to be most similar to each other morphologically. However, T 1 is slender in T. lineata, its length 2.30 × longer than its width apically and its width apically 1.22 × longer than its width basally; T 1 is robust in T. chors, its length 1.70 × longer than its width apically and its width apically 2.10 × longer than its width basally.
