Subfamily
Trisariinae
Shear, 2020
The subfamily is defined by the highly complex gonopods, in which a broad, comb-like branch replaces the flagellocoxites seen in
Striariinae
. The ninth legs are substantially reduced and the sternum, coxae and telopodites are fused. See also the Notes sections below, under the description of the new genus.
