Aedeagus is usually short and broad; vesica relatively short, ovoid, membranous, with spinules. In female genitalia ovipositor elongate, rounded; posterior apophyses longer or equal to anterior ones; antrum short, cylindrical, ductus bursae with sclerites; corpus bursae ovoid, with sclerotised patch in joining with ductus bursae.
