Generic diagnosis.

Senaspis species are morphologically characterized by the combination of the following characters: eyes bare and maculate (less conspicuous in dried specimens), dorsal facets in male usually only slightly larger than ventral facets, more pronounced so in S. dibapha (Walker, 1849) and S. nigrita (Bigot, 1859); antennal arista bare; frons in lateral view with distinct protuberance; wing with cell r1 usually closed and petiolate, or narrowly open at most (see Fig. 69 View Figures 68–73 ) (if distinctly open then hyaline, without dark markings; see Senaspis pennata ; Fig. 79 View Figures 77–79 ); vein R4+5 strongly sinuate; thorax with triangular (dorsomedial) part of anepimeron bare, katepimeron bare or pilose at least in dorsal part; metatibia with conspicuous pile on at least apical half ventrally (except in S. flaviceps ).
