Tegmina lobiform, 3 × longer than its width, covering the larger tympanum; wings less developed. Last article of the anterior and medial tarsi longer than the other two combined; Hind femur longer than wide; chevrons continuous and rounded in the outer median area; upper carinae serrate; upper basal lobe larger than the lower; hind tibia shorter than the femur, slightly S-curved, external apical spine absent, 8–10 spines on each upper margin; last tarsal segment as long as the other two combined; arolium larger and longer than the spurs. Supra-anal plate triangular, elongated; cerci slightly curved, conical, acute or truncated, sometimes with internal preapical lobules; male subgenital plate short, conical, or truncated; valves of ovipositor narrow, with curved apices, lower valves with small or no lateral projection; male genitalia: epiphallus bridge-shaped; bridge usually short, straight or arched, curved forward, reinforced in the vertical plane by a tubercle-like thickening and as prominent downwards as the lateral plates; ancorae short; lophi plate-shaped, aligned or forming an angle greater than 70 °, posterior process not very prominent; oval sclerites small, rounded to subtriangular; cingulum horseshoe-shaped; rami of the cingulum not curved ventrally; ectophallus with two lower and two upper spiculated sheaths; intromission organ of aedeagus having four sclerotized blades and two upper spiculated sheaths; lower valves typically shorter than upper ones. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
