Head elongated ; epicranial suture (ecdysal cleavage line) usually present ; occipital suture 

 usually complete ; ocelli minute to large, usually centrally placed behind the compound eyes. 

 First rostral segment extending well beyond the compound eyes ; second rostral segment 

 usually distinctly shorter than posterior two together, fourth usually almost equal to third. 

 Pronotum at widest point usually at least half as wide again as and distinctly longer than head. 

 Posterior angle of metasternum acutely produced. Posterior margin of second dorsal segment 

 of abdomen truncate. Hamus (hook vein) of hind wing and vena decurrens not at all or little 

 distant from base. Legs slender ; hind femora always without spines. 



o* genitalia, especially the aedeagus, highly specialized with a long coiled vesica and usually 

 with a number of lateral, frontal and dorsal conjunctival appendages ; dorsal and ventral pairs 

 of thecal appendages usually present (Text-fig. 1). 



$ genitalia highly specialized ; apices of second gonopophyses rounded ; gonangulum 

 distinctly marked, with the first inner ramus attached ventrolaterally connecting first gonopo- 

 physis with it, outer ramus of gonopophysis usually marked ; second gonocoxae elongated, 

 always with a long, curved and very distinct second ramus connecting second gonopophyses 

 with it ; spermatheca usually balloon-shaped, with a coiled tube, sometimes with a median 

 flange.
