Diagnosis
Macroposthoniinae.
Female: Small to moderately large (about 0.3 - 1 mm),
sausage- or ring-like when relaxed. Annules crenate, rough or smooth,
with round to pointed edges, 48-200 in number. Cephalic annules two
to three, smaller than and not differentiated or separated by a collar

fused); lateral pseudolips present but reduced. True submedian
lobes as outgrowths on submedian lobes absent. Stylet moderately
long (about 38 - 80 um), usually rigid. Vulva lips closed, conical

lip not ornamented, not overhanging), protruding to or slightly beyond
body contour. Vagina straight. Tail short, conoid, convex-conoid
or hemispheroidal.

with three to four incisures. Bursa distinct, subterminal.
Juveniles: Annules crenate, sometime smoooth, never with
scales or spines. Male fourth-stage juveniles usually lacking stylet.
