- Body length usually ≤ 5 mm; male leg pair 17 with strongly reduced telopodite ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 B); male telopods with prefemoral and femoral trichostele ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 E), femoral process flexible, partly membranous. SE North America........................ 2
2. Head with conspicuous Y-shaped crest and antennal grooves; lateral margin of head sharp-edged and rectangular; collum with two transverse striae; thoracic shield with large hyposchism field; anterior margin of tergites with toothed ridge; tergites laterally without striae; telopods with tibial process.........................................
