Type genus: Usia Latreille, 1802 .
Evenhuis (1990 a) revised the world genera of the Usiinae and Phthiriinae , which he recognised as closely related, but Yeates (1994) found that they formed a monophyletic group and united them as a single subfamily, Usiinae . However, the characters proposed by Evenhuis (1990 a) for separating the two subfamilies (Evenhuis 1990 a) have been re-examined and are considered to justify the recognition of two distinct subfamilies ( Evenhuis & Greathead 1999).
The Usiinae are readily separated from the Phthiriinae by the first flagellomere having a subapical sulcus bearing a style and being without dorsal or ventral processes, and on the absence of vein M 2 (three posterior cells).
