Subgenus Litheleodes Blaisdell, 1909
Recognition of this subgenus is based primarily on the structure of the female genitalia. The apical segment of the ovipositor is quadrate and thickly clothed with hairs. Males of some species have the profemora dentate. Only one of the species in this subgenus is common anywhere, the widespread E. extricatus .
