Hedylus Marshall, 1891: 14-15 (not Foerster, 1868); Papp 2009: 29-30 (as synonym of Cratospila because of synonymising both type species). Type species (by monotypy): Hedylus habilis Marshall, 1894 (examined; = Alysia circe Haliday, 1838).

Diagnosis.

First flagellomere 1.5-2.1 times longer than second (Figs 1B, 2B), most species with 8-13 white segments in apical part of antenna (unknown of C. longivena, but has reddish brown head, morphologically related to C. albifera and has according to the COI analysis a derived position compared to other species), face with setae (Figs 1E, 2E), eye slightly oval, clypeus protruding anteriorly (Figs 1E, 2E), clypeus large, triangularly shaped and ventrally truncate, mandible with three teeth, second tooth narrow and sharp, maxillary palp with six segments, as long as mesosoma; notauli at least present anteriorly, scutellar sulcus distinct, precoxal sulcus medially deeply impressed and coarsely crenulate, more or less reduced anteriorly and posteriorly (Figs 1G, 2G); fore wing (Figs 1C, 2C) vein 2-SR slightly bent, vein 3-SR shorter than vein 2-SR; veins 2-SR+M and r-m not sclerotized, hind wing vein 1-M shorter than vein 1r-m; first tergite longer than second (Figs 1H, 2H).

Biology.

Rather small genus, of which the biology is unknown.

Distribution.
