1. Wing surface flat; R 2+3 narrowly separated as well from firstly R 1 and also from the Costa; apices of R 4+5 and M 1 equidistant from wing tip; M 1 curved apically; dm–m hardly more oblique than the anterior crossvein; head, thorax and abdomen cylindrical; ocellar triangle large, with a broad apex; external vertical seta present; arista with two basal aristomeres distinct; scutellum with a pair of marginal bristles apically situated.............................................................. 2

- Wing surface bowed downwards apically; R 2+3 fused with or in contact with R 1 and Costa throughout its length; R 4+5 strongly curved towards costa; M 1 ending at wing tip; dm–m strongly oblique; thorax hardly longer than wide; ocellar triangle with a triangular shape; vertical setae absent; arista with only one distinct basal aristomere; scutellum with the usual pair of apical marginal bristles bent forwards, so that they are situated at mid length of disc and are upright and cruciate; postgonite longer than pregonite............................................................................................ 4
