Ptilocerembia Friederichs, 1923: 24 View in CoL ; 1934: 422; Davis, 1940a: 526; 1940b: 535; Ross, 1963; 123; Miller et al. 2012: 561.

Diagnosis. Males of Ptilocerembia (family Ptilocerembiidae ) are readily distinguished from other embiopterans as follows: the antennae have long setae, the antennae are abruptly white distally, the anterior branch of the media (MA) is branched in the forewing and hindwing, the left tergal process (10LP) is short, the medial flap (MF) has a variable hook and the hind basitarsus has dense setae ventrally and only one papilla. Females are large, robust and variously pigmented. Distal antennal segments are commonly abruptly white and intersegmental areas of the thorax and abdomen are regularly pale in color. The hind basitarsus has one ventral papilla.
