Striariidae
Bollman, 1893
The taxonomic characters useful in distinguishing species of
Striariidae
were discussed by
Shear (2020)
, with reference to
Striaria columbiana
Cook, 1899
(
Virginia
,
USA
). The members of the family may be easily recognized in the field by the broad, hooded collum (

) and the crested pleurotergites (
Fig. 15
). All presently known striariids have 30 pleurotergites.
