Diagnosis. Body length 330–1040 μm. Head in lateral view with face strongly projecting anteriorly, with a sharp angle (about 90°) between dorsal and ventral surfaces and toruli just dorsal to angle ( Figs 280 View FIGURES 279, 280 , 284a View FIGURES 281–286 , 295 View FIGURES 293–298 ); vertex with ocelli in a low, wide triangle, the lateral ocelli at posterolateral angles next to posterior apex of supraorbital trabecula ( Figs 281 View FIGURES 281–286 , 296 View FIGURES 293–298 ); funicle segments quadrate ( Fig. 285 View FIGURES 281–286 ) to wider than long; clava 1-segmented ( Figs 280 View FIGURES 279, 280 , 285 View FIGURES 281–286 ); frenum entire ( Fig. 287 View FIGURES 287, 288 ); fore wing narrow and parallel-sided, with widest point at posterior lobe opposite or just distal to venation ( Figs 279 View FIGURES 279, 280 , 292 View FIGURES 291, 292 ); ovipositor short, less than half length of gaster ( Figs 290 View FIGURES 289, 290 , 305 View FIGURES 304–310 ).

Discussion. Cleruchus and Platystethynium (Platypatasson) belong in the Cleruchus group of genera, which consists of species with rather dorsoventrally flattened bodies, claval segments quadrate or shorter than wide ( Figs 285 View FIGURES 281–286 , 805 View FIGURES 804–806 ) and head in lateral view triangular, with face strongly projecting anteriorly ( Figs 280 View FIGURES 279, 280 , 284 View FIGURES 281–286 , 295 View FIGURES 293–298 , 800 View FIGURE 800 , 804 View FIGURES 804–806 ) so toruli are well anterior to the mouthparts. This group could be treated a subgroup within a larger Anagrus group of genera depending on which features are used to define the group. Cleruchus differs from Platystethynium (Platypatasson) by the clava 1-segmented (entire) clava.
