Diagnosis.
Mandible bidentate; occipital and hypostomal carinae joining close to or distinctly above mandibular base; area superomedia defined, receiving costula at or beyond middle; gastrocoelus indistinct, thyridium absent; fore wing with areolet closed; hind wing with distal abscissa of Cu1 present, hardly distinct to fully pigmented ( Perkins 1959, Selfa and Diller 1994).
Species richness and distribution.
The genus is represented by 57 species, with a worldwide distribution with the exception of the Australasian and Antarctic regions. Dicaelotus cariniscutis (Cameron, 1906) was the only Afrotropical species previously known. We describe here three new species from South Africa.
