Character Analysis

In this section, we discuss the diagnostic characters referenced in the Systematics section. In general, these discussions pertain to subfamilies Smeringurinae and Syntropinae , the subject of this study. However, information, if relevant at a subfamily level, is also provided for subfamily Vaejovinae . It must be noted that the systematics as established in this paper (subfamilies, tribes, subtribes, genera) is used in these character descriptions; see Systematics section for a formal statement of these emendations.
