Diagnosis.

Same as the family, except the characters related to Xenococcini , Geococcina and Rhizoecina . Most of the species have bitubular pores, and 5-6 segmented antennae. In some monotypic genera, included tentatively, the anal ring and/or the antennae are reduced (adopted and modified from Kozár and Konczné Benedicty 2007).
