A number of the characters they provide are useful and have been included in the present study. However, some are more useful for recognizing species than genera. The anteromedial margin of the clypeus, inner margin of the compound eye, relative length of the third maxillary palpal segment compared with the fourth, relative length of the first flagellar segment compared with its width, the degree to which the petiole is concealed by abdominal segment III in dorsal view, and the presence of the cuspis varied considerably even within a single genus.
