Diagnosis.
Larva.
In contrast to
Cloeon
, additional dorsal lamella of tergalii without anterior-proximal projection; dorsal lamella may be absent on tergalii of some posterior pairs. Labial palp with 3rd segment (truncate) either widened, or non-widened. Cerci and paracercus with long bare last segments (as in
Cloeon
, in contrast to
Pseudocentroptilum
and
Procloeon
). In contrast to
Procloeon
, distal part of cercus without one large spine on each segment (
Kluge & Novikova 1992:
Fig. 5
: 10–13
).
Winged stages.
In contrast to
Cloeon
, unpaired sclerotized projection of penial bridge semicircular or truncate; fore wing of female not colored. Known species without hind wings. Oviparous.
Distribution.
For certain known from Palaearctic Region.

Discussion.
Originally,
Intercloeon
was separated from
Similicloeon
by widened labial palp, which was regarded to be a synapomorphy of
Intercloeon
and
Procloeon
(
Kluge & Novikova 1992
)
. Actually, this character repeatedly appears among Cloeonini, that is proven by the fact that both widened and non-widened labial palps are found among species of the holophyletic taxon
Cloeon
