Silverfish with fusiform or subcylindrical shape, bearing feathered macrochaetae and lacking pronged sensilla on apical article of maxillary palp. Frontal area with a bare gap between two big lateral tufts of macrochaetae; clypeus and labrum usually with 1+1 tufts. Apical article of labial palp with (2)35 papillae arranged in one row. Pronotum with setal collar; all thoracic nota with several lateral combs and usually with 1+1 posterolateral combs. Anterior trichobothrial areas of pronotum and mesonotum associated with antepenultimate lateral combs (N2); sometimes those of pronotum in anterior to antepenultimate (N3) lateral combs. Thoracic sternites variable in shape, usually cordiform with convex hind margin, prosternum usually smaller than meso- and metasternum. Coxae and femora covered with rounded orbicular scales similar to those of body; tibiae and tarsi without scales, only covered by setae; remaining appendages without scales. Several urotergites (usually IIV, IIVI, IIVII or IIVIII) with 3+3 combs of macrochaetae. Urotergite I with 1+1 or 2+2 combs. Tenth urotergite trapezoidal, with straight hind margin, sometimes slightly concave or convex. Several urosternites (at least four) with one median comb, usually present on abdominal sternites IVI, IVII, IIVI or IIVII); 1+1 lateral combs on some urosternites (usually on IIVIII or IIIVIII). Coxites IX with or without a transverse comb. One to three pairs of abdominal styli. Males without paramera. Ovipositor of primary

rejected Kaplins arrangement as probably not reflecting phylogenetic history, retaining his earlier definitions when describing new species from southern Africa. Here the criterion of Irish is followed. Although a more extensive revision is required, Kaplins criteria make neither phylogenetic nor biogeographic sense. The character separating
