Drusus STEPHENS, 1837 10 (7) Anal part of hind wings with pleatsor wrinkles. 11 (12) Very dark coloured insects. Wings short, their apex rounded, hairy. Fore wing (Fig. 15) with radial vein broken in its apical third. Discoidal cell of hind wing (Fig. 16) approximately in central area of membrane. Endforks: 1, 2, 3, 5, Tibial spurs: 1, 2, 2. - Type species: nebulicola MACLACHLAN, 1859 (Enoicyla). Cryptothrix MACLACHLAN, 1867 12 (11) Insects with other characteristics. 13 (14) On middle tibia three tibial spurs. Middle genital plates strongly chitinized, and generally protruding. Lower genital plates without tipped extension. Drusus STEPHENS, 1837, partim 14 (13) On middle tibia two tibial spurs. Tibial spurs: 1, 2, 3. Discoidal i cell of fore wing long, approximately as long as, or longer than, basal part of lateral branch of radial vein; radial vein undulated above discoidal cell (Fig. 17). Hind wing of males with hairy spots in third anal cell. Endforks: 1, 2. - Type-species: guttu- lata PICTET, 1834 (Phryganea). All species European: dziedzielewiczi KLAPÁLEK, 1906 (Polish Carpathians), guttulata PICTET, 1834 (Phryganea) (Europe) madida MACLACHLAN, 1867 (Halesus) Central and west Europe) Ecclisopteryx KOLENATI, 1848 4. Subfamily: Limnephilinae Tibial spurs: 0-1, 2-3, 2-3-4. Fore wing narrow, apex slightly elongate, its end rounded. First and second endforks identifiable, but on some species also third and fifth discernible. Discoidal cell usually long, in general longer than basal undivided part of lateral branch of radial vein. Hind wing usually wider than fore wing, its discoidal cell cell generally shorter than that of fore wing. The group is extremely rich in species, widely distributed almost in the whole Arctogaea. Taxonomically divided into four tribi, the species of which also occur in Europe. The tribi are separated by SCHMID, in his work"Contributon à 1' étude des Limnophilidae (Trichoptera)" (Lausanne, imp. Concorde, 1955, p. 125-126) as follows: "Les Limnophilini forment la tribu typique, caractérisée par la disposition de l'anastomose des deux siles, par la structure massive des genitalia du cf et par la fréquante d'appendices au rx e segment chez la °. Les Stenophylacini, voisons des précédents, s'en différencient par une nervulation moins particulière et par génital non massifs et plus variés . Les Chaetopterygini paraissent proches parents des Stenophylacini par les genitalia, mais sont très caractéristique par les particularités du corps.
