Review of Dactylotula Cockerell, 1888 , Catatinagma Rebel, 1903 , Caulastrocecis Chrétien, 1931 ,

Megacraspedus Zeller, 1839 . The genera listed in Table 1 have never been revised and the generic status of species assigned to them is somewhat confusing, rendering assignment of new taxa to this group difficult. Here we list useful characteristics that may help with grouping taxa more logically into the existing genera and species groups.
