Popis: Genus Dolichomitus Smith, 1877 Dolichomitus Smith, 1877: 411. Type species Dolichomitus longicauda Smith, 1877. Diagnosis The diagnosis of the genus was modified from Townes (1969) and Sheng & Sun (2010). Apical portion of clypeus impressed, apical margin always with deep median notch (Fig. 2). Occipital carina complete, strongly dipped dorsomedially. Fore wing vein M&RS usually opposite 1cu-a; areolet present, large. Hind wing vein 1-cu shorter than cu-a. Tarsal claws of female with large basal lobe. Lateromedian longitudinal carinae of propodeum nearly always more or less present anteriorly. Anterior two tergites almost equal length. Tergite 2 with anterolateral oblique grooves cutting off triangular areas, these grooves more longitudinal than transverse. Tergites 3 and 4 nearly always with distinct lateral swellings.
