Genus Oligotoma Westwood 1837 View in CoL

Diagnosis. Distinguished from other Oligotomidae by the left basipodite (LCB) projecting mesad as a lobe. Distribution. Cosmopolitan ( Ross 1955)

Remarks. Oligotoma , together with Aposthonia , is one of the largest genera of Embioptera and several of its species are relatively common because of their rapid (anthropogenic) dispersal ( Ross 2007).
