This key has been adapted from Brake (2000).

1. Vibrissa below or at the level of lower margin of eye; head in profile subquadrate; vertical diameter of eye less than 1.5x the horizontal diameter. Frons in male as wide as in female. Wing with subcostal notch seldom evident, never well-developed; R4+5 and M1 not or only slightly converging at tips; distal margin of anal cell (CuA2) usually rounded (if not, then epistoma extended dorsally, subtriangular). Abdominal tergites of male without silvery microtomentum.
