1618 antennal articles, 2.53.5 articles glabrous dorsally. Cephalic plate with anterior median sulcus that may be posteriorly bifurcated. Forcipular coxosternite without median suture. Tooth-plate wider than long, with four teeth on each side separated into two groups of two lateral and two median teeth. Trochanteroprefemoral process bearing one apical tooth and two or three inner teeth. Tergite 1 overlapping cephalic plate, without transverse sulcus or suture. Tergites with or without keels; oblique suture starting from T4 or 5 to T19. Paramedian sutures complete from at least TT 7 to 20. Tergite margination usually starting at least from T5; exceptionally only tergite of ultimate leg-bearing segment marginated. Tergite of ultimate leg-bearing segment with convex lateral margins. Sternites with small punctae, occasionally with median sulcus; depressionlike pits on posterior part of sternite. Paramedian sutures at least 10% length of sternite, nearly complete in a few species. Sternite of ultimate leg-bearing segment trapezoidal, with sides converging posteriorly. Coxopleural process short to moderately long, with two apical spines, one lateral spine or absent, dorsal spine absent. Pore-field on lateral part of coxopleuron extending to dorsal margin or terminating beneath that margin. Spine formula on ultimate leg prefemur: VL 14 or absent, VM 15 or absent, M 01 and DM 12 or absent. Locomotory legs usually with two tarsal spurs on at least legs 13, usually one tarsal spur on legs 420. Tibial and femoral spur on leg 1 or absent. Male with blunt conical distal process on ultimate leg femur; shallow longitudinal furrow along medial surface of femur terminating at the process. Spiracles rounded or oval, on segments 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20.
