Acrotelsatinae

(17 species in 6 genera. North Africa, Central Asia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Fig. 20 View Fig )

The subfamily is characterised by the lack of free sternal plates. It displays a relic distribution from a Pangean origin; however, it is surprising that no representatives have yet been found in the Americas. The distribution of the anthropophilic pan-tropical species Acrotelsa collaris (Fabricius, 1793) is not included here but the species has been found free-living in the Middle East as well as Hawaii.
