Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| P. Vršanský 2003 | Head more or less globular, antenna with wide segments and very long setae in transversal rows; pronotum mostly short and narrow, with reduced paranota; forewing heavily elytrised, with cup–like cells called "bunky" and reduced venation; hindwing venation generally of early polyphagoid groundplan (simplified venation with CuA without tertiary branches, CuP simple, A1 curved, with short branches), but with reduced venation of R (with few branches – possibly with pterostigma), M branched. Cerci with numerous long hair; females with short external ovipositor. |
