Diagnosis. This group may be recognized by the single elytral sutural stria, inner edge of the terminal maxillary palpomere swollen medially, the prosternal process projecting or step-like in lateral view, the metaventral process not surpassing the mesocoxae, the metaventral lines diverging from the mesocoxal cavities, the small scutellar shield, metatarsomere I shorter than II, and the absence of a protibial ctenidium. This group, in essentially its present constitution, was first characterized by Švec (2002).

Distribution and diversity. A total of 178 recognized species occurring nearly coextensively with the family as a whole.
