Paryphoconus View in CoL :

- Male with broad flange on medial margin of eye and attached to the anterior tentorial pit broad ( Fig. 15C View FIGURE 15 ) (narrow or difficult to discern and perhaps absent in all others).

- Male claws apically simple but with subbasal, well-developed inner tooth. This feature is nearly unique in the Culicomorpha but is present in three Afrotropical genera in the Ceratopogonini , where it is considered a synapomorphy (see character 104).

- Larva mandible with bifid, claw-like apex ( Díaz et al. 2021). The feature is unique in the Culicomorpha (but larva of Stenoxenus unknown).
