8 I. AHMAD 



This subfamily can be distinguished from Micrelytrinae by the length of second 

 and fourth rostral segments. In the latter, the second rostral segment is usually 

 distinctly longer than posterior two together and the fourth is always at least twice 

 as long as the third. In Alydinae the hind femur is always armed whereas in this 

 subfamily it is always without spines. Other distinctive characters are given 

 under " Key to the subfamilies ".
