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.
