Very small size (wing length &lt;2.5 mm); face broad with distinct clypeus; postpedicel globular with long, slender apical extension; mouthparts narrow with palpus elongate and narrowly pointed, appressed to proboscis; unusual wing venation, where R 2 + 3 is branched and the upper crossvein of cell dm (= base of M 2) is absent; cercus with anterior and posterior lobes (rarely anterior lobe absent); epandrium narrow, with elongated setae apically; surstylus with acute apex (rarely flattened or rounded); and phallus straight or arched, mainly membranous apically.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>In Australasia, this genus is known from Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand and Philip Island (Norfolk) (Sinclair 1995). In the New World, this genus is recorded from Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, and the USA (Arizona). The genus is also known from Puerto Rico (Cumming and Sinclair 2009), but the specimens have not been relocated (Sinclair 2015; Ramos-Pastrana et al.
