connected by anastomoses. Hind wing slightly broader, broadest 
shortly beyond the first quarter of wing length. 
Body structures: Head small, narrower than prothorax. Eyes 
projecting, clypeus large. Antennae composed of narrow and long 
segments. Beak long, with long palpi. Prothoracic lobes large, 
cordate, with fan-like venation and irregular, anastomosing cross 
venation. Thoracic segments either equal in length or the prothorax 
shortest. Legs short, tibiae only slightly prolonged, sometimes pro- 
vided with spines. Tarsi with long claws. Abdomen slightly longer 
than half the wings. Posterior margin of terga convexly curved in 
the central part. Posterolateral angles pointed, more or less pro- 
duced. Lateral parts of terga with oblique ridges. Females with 
a stout, curved ovipositor and robust cerci. Males with claspers, 
arising posterolaterally from beneath the 9th tergite and composed 
of about 12 small segments of equal size, each with a short median 
carina.
