Ectonocryptops ), legs with tibial lateral spur (no tibial spurs in the former ectonocriptopines), ultimate tarsus 1 subclavate (not subclavated in the former ectonocryptopines), with a large “spinning-spur” (without or with a conic reduced “spinning-spur” in the former ectonocryptopines), ultimate femur, tibia and tarsus 1 densely porous (only tibia in Ectonocryptops , tibia and tarsus 1 in Ectonocryptoides ), cephalic plate with a short paramedian sutures close to the anterior and posterior margins (without any cephalic paramedian sutures), pretarsus with accessory spine.
