Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. M. Carpenter 1967 | Related to the Mesoraphidiidae. Fore wing very long and slender; pterostigma well-developed; Sc ending at mid-wing; Rs originating just before mid-wing; MA arising well after the fork of MP and coalesced with Rs for a short distance; CuA connected to M at its point of separation from R, Hind wing about the same size and shape as the fore wing; costal area narrower than that of fore wing; Sc terminating slightly beyond mid-wing; MA arising from R just beyond the origin of MP.
This family differs from the Mesoraphidiidae not only in the extreme wing-length but also in having MA in the fore wing originate well beyond the point of forking of MP, and in having CuA connected to M at its point of separation from R. In the fore wing of the Mesoraphidiida-e MA arises from M before or at the origin of MP, and CuA joins M distad of the separation of M from R. |
