Type genus: Embolemus Westwood, 1833 , according to Art. 63 of ICZN (1999).

Diagnosis. Female: micropterous, or brachypterous, or macropterous; third segment of maxillary palpi much larger than other segments; antenna 10-segmented; antennae of extant species and fossil species in amber articulated on two prominent contiguous frontal processes far above the clypeus; in macropterous species, fore wing with long tubular development of Rs+M and the distal abscissa of M (( RS+M) + 2-M) and desclerotization of Cu beyond its separation from M (desclerotization complete or partial); tibial spurs 1/2/2.

Male: macropterous; third segment of maxillary palpi much larger than other segments; antenna 10-segmented; antennae of extant species and fossil species in amber articulated on two prominent contiguous frontal processes far above the clypeus; in macropterous species, fore wing with long tubular development of Rs+M and the distal abscissa of M (( RS+M) + 2-M) and desclerotization of Cu beyond its separation from M (desclerotization complete or partial); tibial spurs 1/2/2.

Distribution. Worldwide.

Hosts. Nymphs of Cixiidae feeding on roots and living in the soil ( Varrone & Olmi 2012) and Achilidae feeding on on fungus and living in rotten logs ( Bridwell 1958. Wharton 1989, Guglielmino & Bückle 2013, Olmi et al. 2014b).
