length of forewing; scape with prominent pectin of ~10-14 bristles (Fig. 13); intercalary sclerite well sclerotized; flagellomeres with a single annulus of appressed, narrow scales; antennal cilia short in both sexes. Maxillary palpus as long as or usually slightly longer than labial palpus, 5-segmented, with length ratio of segments from base: 1.0: 0.5: 1.7-2.75: 5.5-8.7: 2-3.6.

Labial palpus well developed, length ratios from base: 1.0: 1.3-2.5: 1.0-1.4; segment 2 sometimes broad at base, with a prominent ventral brush of elongate, slender scales; a series of 5-16 long whitish to black bristles arising mostly laterally; 1-3 long, lateral bristles also usually present on basal segment.
: Wings (Figs 16-18) relatively narrow; forewing L/W index: 0.23-0.27; hindwing L/W index: 0.24-0.32. Forewing with Sc and R present in all species, Rs usually with 3-4 branches, reduced to one branch in

Tegumen a narrow dorsal ring, poorly differentiated from vinculum; vinculum with a well developed, usually broadly rounded, triangular saccus. Valva usually simple, rarely with lobes or processes, usually broad, and often with a dense concentration of thick, costal spines; costal apodemes usually well developed. Gnathos absent. Juxta highly modified, forming sclerotized pouch of variable depth between bases of valvae and articulating with costal apodemes of valvae. Aedeagus typically in the form of a simple cylinder, with a slightly swollen base in some species; vesica sometimes lined with minute spicules, or with 1-2 much larger, spine-like cornuti.</paragraph>

length of abdomen. Antrum relatively slender, often narrowly funnel-shaped or sometimes in the form of an incomplete ring; junction with ductus seminalis immediately anterior to antrum. Ductus bursae slender, with or without coarse microtrichia lining interior. Corpus bursae membranous, ovate to pyriform, often with a single small signum with the more slender, rodlike end projecting free from exterior wall of corpus bursae; signum sometimes can be stellate, blade-shaped, in the shape of a small ridged plate, or absent.
