Culcua

Culcua is a genus of flies in the subfamily Pachygastrinae that are found only in the Indomalayan realm. About eleven species have been described. They have a disc-shaped flagellum to the antenna and have a arista or hair arising from it. The scutellum typically has four strong spines and the abdomen is nearly spherical.[1]
