facial carina. Notopleuron not differentiated from prescutum by any depression. 
Abdominal Tir + 2 excavate only at base. Body and legs excessively long and 
slender, the long thin abdomen with subparallel sides. [Ceylon, Indonesia to 
Solomon Islands, unknown from Australia] : : . Tribe DOLESCHALLINI 
[Type-genus: Doleschalla Walker, 1861] 
- Thorax membranous or mainly so between bases of hind coxae and abdominal 
insertion, coxae and abdomen usually not remote from each other. Head in 
profile not subtriangular, at most only slightly shorter at the epistomal axis than at 
the antennal axis, often with epistome at least as prominent as profrons. Head 
usually with facial carina (absent in some forms). Notopleuron distinctly differen- 
tiated from prescutum by a groove or at least a shallow depression. Excavation 
of abdominal Tr + 2 reaching to hind margin. Body form often robust, if long 
and slender then abdomen broadest near base or subfusiform . 2 
2 Postalar callus with only the normal two strong setae (at most only a shore weak 
setula in addition). Suprasquamal ridge and postalar wall bare. Epistome not 
produced in front of vibrissae or only weakly so, not readily visible in profile. 
Propleuron bare or haired. Barette bare or with a few hairs anteriorly (if all haired 
then no facial carina). Facial carina present or absent. Scutellum with three 
pairs of marginal setae. Male hypopygium without long strong erect setae on 
T7 + 8 except in Acuceva. Prosternal membrane and prosternum bare. Arista 
often very long-plumose. [nearly cosmopolitan] . . Tribe PROSENINI 
(Type-genus: Prosena Lepeletier & Serville, 1828] 
— Postalar callus with supernumerary strong setae, total of 3-6 setae (except in 
Chetogaster!). Either suprasquamal ridge or postalar wall usually haired. 
Epistome subnasute or at least slightly and distinctly projecting in front of vibrissae 
in profile. Propleuron haired (very rarely bare in isolated specimens). Barette 
thickly haired along its length (partially bare in Chetogastey1). Strong facial 
carina present. Scutellum with four or more pairs of marginal setae (except in 
Chetogastey1). Male hypopygium with long strong erect setae on T7 + 8 (usually 
standing in line on each side of tergite). Prosternal membrane, or membrane and 
prosternum itself, sometimes haired. Arista micropubescent to short-plumose 
(never very long plumose). [Oriental and Australasian Regions (except New 
Zealand)] . 3 : : : : Tribe RUTILIINI
