Distinct from the subfamily

in the form of the gonopods, which in species of
Trisariinae
are compact and with all elements rotated laterally, while in species of
Striariinae
the same elements are aligned to the body axis. In addition, the ninth legs of trisariines have the sternum, coxae and telopodites fused, while these elements are separate in striariines (
