Phthiriinae Becker View in CoL View at ENA
Type genus: Phthiria Meigen, 1803 .
The Phthiriinae are readily separated from the Usiinae by the first flagellomere, which in Phthiriinae has a subapical sulcus bearing a style and dorsal and/or ventral processes; also vein M 2 is present (four posterior cells). Only the nominate genus, Phthiria , is present in Africa and Eurasia, but in the Americas there are five endemic genera, and another three are endemic to Australia (Evenhuis 1990 a).
