Thorax: Wings with membrane hyaline (Fig. 4), veins Ml and R5 curving forward to join wing margin before apex; discal and m3 cells present; M3 and CuA] united before wing margin, CuA2 and A1 united just before margin. Abdomen: Elongate, cigar-shaped, tapered towards apex. Male genitalia: Comparatively large; epandrium divided medially into two sclerites (Figs 6, 9); hypandrium large, independent of gonocoxites (Fig. 5); gonocoxites separate, not fused in midline; gonostyli articulated on inner margin of each gonocoxite, adjacent to base of phallus (Fig. 5); inner faces of gonocoxites with complex lobes flanking gonostyli; ejaculatory apodeme large, rounded in lateral view; lateral aedeagal apodemes relatively small, directed dorsally and posteriorly (Fig. 5). Female genitalia: Acanthophorites with row of stout spines, fused to tergite 9; three poorly sclerotised spermathecae.
