Subfamily Psilarginae Shcherbakov , subfam.n.
TYPE GENUS. Psilargus Shcherbakov , gen.n.
DIAGNOSIS. Legs with long setae, body bare. Sensory pits large, numerous at adult stage. Eumetope without submedian carinae, separated from coryphe by single high carina (no acrometope). Pronotum with median carina complete; mesonotum with median carina. Strongly brachypterous. Fore legs longest. Ovipositor not projecting beyond anal tube.
COMPOSITION. Type genus.
REMARKS. The new subfamily shows a few characters in common with Perforissidae — bare body with large sensory pits in adults, and eumetope without submedian carinae. However, this subfamily fits Jubisentidae in the other characters: clypeus with high median crest, shape of pronotum, foliaceous legs fringed with long setae, wing reduction and the absence of tegula, claval suture and ocelli. Jubisentinae also share one character with Perforissidae — the presence of the acrometope.
