Diagnosis.

Body of adult female broadly oval to rotund. Antennae 6 to 8 segmented. Legs well developed, stout, tibia + tarsus usually shorter than trochanter + femur; translucent pores normally present on hind coxae; claw stout, without a denticle. Anal ring generally situated at least its own length from apex of abdomen, bearing 6 or multiple setae. Circulus present or absent. Cerarii numbering 5-18 pairs; cerarii on posterior abdominal segments (including anal lobe cerarii) usually each containing multiple conical setae; sometimes intermediate cerarii or intermediate conical setae present. Ostioles well developed, with inner edges of lips sclerotized. Multilocular disc pores present, rarely absent. Oral collar tubular ducts present, usually across medial area and sometimes in marginal groups. Anal lobes ventrally membranous or with various degrees of sclerotization, never with an anal lobe bar. Dorsal setae usually minute and stiff, ventral surface usually with normal flagellate setae (adapted from Williams 2004).
