Body stout, the thorax often hairy, and the abdomen long and slender, 

 well tufted at the r\u\. Head rather narrow in front, especially in the higher 

 genera (Drepanodes and Eutrapela), with the scales appressed to the clypeus, 

 or loose and projecting, forming an interpalpal tuft. Palpi rather stout and 

 large, porrect or ascending, passing beyond the front ; third joint small, dis-

 a prominent angle, rarely rounded. Venation : one subcostal cell is nearly 

 always present; it is either short and rhomboidal or long and narrow. The 

 costal vein almost invariably anastomoses with the subcostal. Hind legs with 

 the tibiae often large, long, and much swollen, sometimes with a pencil of long
