Subfamily Ditomotarsinae Signoret View in CoL ( Figs. 11-14)
The members of this subfamily are characterized by a combination of characters usually present in the other subfamilies, such as the absence of an abdominal spine; the mesosternal carina also usually absent, but when present has the form of a thin, flat, poorly developed ridge; and the lateroposterior angles of the seventh sternum never produced into processes.
Two tribes are recognized: Laccophorellini that is confined to Africa and Australia, and Ditomotarsini that is present in Africa and South America ( Kumar, 1974; Schuh & Slater, 1995). In Argentina, six genera and seven species are present, all of them belonging to the tribe Ditomotarsini .
