The species belonging to this family are easily recognised by a combination of two venational characters - one is a short distal cell emitting veins, some of which do not as a rule reach the wing border, and the lower branch of the cubital fork running to or above the apex of the wing is the other. The antennae are of diverse forms, the third joint of which may consist of as many as eight segments clearly defined, or all or many of these segments may be partly or completely fused. The abdomen consisting of from five to seven visible segments is often depressed.
