cells of which base of fourth may be more proximal or more distal than base 
of third, without an anteapical plexus of veins, texture coriaceous except 
apically, without sculpturing; forewings of female in rest position exceeding 
apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1, length of first 
tarsomere greater than combined length of two more distal tarsomeres and 
with two parallel rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer strongly produced, posterior margin convex, with 
numerous macrosetae on posterior half. Plates not extending posteriorly 
nearly as far as pygofer apex, gradually tapered, with macrosetae uniseriate, 
often few in number. Style variable interspecifically as to its posterior extent 
compared with apex of connective, with lobe near midlength. Connective 
broadly to narrowly Y-shaped. Aedeagus broadest in apical half, longer than 
in Amblyscartidia, new genus, and not as broad. Paraphyses present, stalked, 
symmetrical, some species with two pairs of rami.
