) have one or more (up to four) pairs of much larger, possibly articulated dorsal spines on the hind tibiae. Fore and mid tarsi: all segments unarmed. Hind tarsi: always armed above with a variable number of small spines on both the first and the second tarsal segment. The spines on the hind tarsi are most often alternate, meaning that if a spine is on the posterior edge, there is no corresponding spine in the same position on the anterior edge, and vice versa.

The male suranal plate is generally square on the posterior edge and covers all genital structures above. The male subgenital plate varies in shape between triangular and tri-lobed, but is often short, exposing three complex layers of genital structures in a ventral view. The female subgenital plate is rounded, bi-lobed or tri-lobed, at times small and largely hidden by the last sternite. The upper valve of the ovipositor is smooth in all species of
