Revised diagnosis.
Male tegmen oblong or broadly oval, precostal area ordinary-sized or narrow; C slightly arched, ending in anterior margin before the middle length of tegmen, proximal branches of Sc arched upwards, ending in stem C; RS diverging from R slightly before the middle length of tegmen; both RA and RS giving not less than 4 branches; origin of MA2 much closer to fusion point of MP+CuA1 than to origin of RS; “handle vein” nearly straight, ending in fusion point of MP and CuA1 or branch of MP+CuA1, no crossveins between “handle vein” and CuA1; “oblique veins” (crossveins between CuA2 and CuP) almost straight and sub-parallel to each other.

Aboilus
is similar to
Prophalangopseides
, but differs in branches of Sc simple; RS arising slightly before the middle length of tegmen; the origin of MA2 much closer to the tegminal base and crossveins not forming “fan” veins between CuA and CuP. Although similar to
Protaboilus
in stem C, the precostal area and costal area, it is different from the latter in crossveins between CuA and CuP straight or weakly arched. Differs from
Sigmaboilus
in the precostal area narrow, stem C comparatively short, and MP and CuA1 not united for an appreciable distance.
