Key to Families

Key to Families

1. Couplet 9 (p. 6) can be misleading; amend by replacing "at outer distal corner" with "on outer border".
2. To make the key comprehensive for Family Tachidiidae
(a) add a new couplet to follow couplet 41 (p. 9) –
42a. Enp. P.1 of 2 segments Tachidiidae
Enp. P.1 of 3 segments 42b
(b) renumber couplet 42 as 42b,
(c) note that couplet 40 now leads to couplets 41 and 42a.

I am indebted to Morten Jødal and Michael Gee for suggesting these improvements.
