1 Width of head including eyes slightly narrower than, about as wide as or wider than the mesonotum; body length at least 2 1/2 times the width of the mesonotum; abdomen tapering caudally ...................................................................................................... 2
- Width of head including eyes much narrower than the width of the mesonotum; length of the body less than two and one-half times the width of the mesonotum; abdomen broadly rounded caudally ............................................................................... Cacama
2 Radial and radiomedial crossveins of fore wing parallel or nearly parallel..................................................................................... 3
- Radial and radiomedial crossveins of fore wing not parallel; length of 7th apical cell more than two times the width; uncus bifurcated ............................................................................................................................................................................... Diceroprocta
3 Female sternite VII sinuous and/or length of radius posterior between the radial and radiomedial crossveins equal to or greater than length of radius posterior from radial crossvein to the ambient vein in the fore wing; uncus bifurcated .............. Diceroprocta
- Female sternite VII produced into two symmetrical, smooth lobes; length of radius posterior between the radial and radiomedial crossveins less than the length of radius posterior from the radial crossvein to the ambient vein in the fore wing ......................... 4
4 Head as wide or wider than lateral pronotal collar; female sternite VIII visible as 2 hooklike projections beneath sternite VII when viewed caudally; pygofer with a pair of spines protruding backward from the ventral edge; basal cell of fore wing black.............. .......................................................................................................................................................................................... Cornuplura
- Female sternite VIII not visible beneath sternite VII or lacking hooklike projections; pygofer lacking ventral spines; basal cell of fore wing not completely black ......................................................................................................................................................... 5
