Quadraaeps, which is more widely spread throughout the order 

 Charadriiformes than Carduiaeps and Lunaaeps , is separated from them 

 by the hyaline margin arising anterior to the clypeal suture and by 

 the presence of a median dorsal preantennal suture. 



Head with broad hyaline margin arising from near the anterior 

 end of clypeal band; clypeal and internal bands fused near their 

 anterior ends but these ends are free. Dorsal antennal bands on each 

 side pass inwards to form a narrow median suture. Pterothorax with 

 lateral margins divergent. Abdomen with segment I small; paratergal 

 plates with elongate re-entrant heads , but without inwardly directed 

 processes. Tergal plates of some or all segments showing either 

 partial or complete division into 2. Segment IX of male clearly 

 demarcated from segment VIII.
