Autapomorphy of Behningia/fg4. (1) Larval hind leg [greatly modified – see Behningia/fg2 (1)] has femur greatly widened, with concavity into which tibia [greatly shortened – see Behningia/fg2 (1)] can be inputted. Tarsus is articulated to tibia movably, thus can bent at acute angle to tibia (in such a way that if leg would be non-specialized, tarsus would be directed outward). As a result, in folded condition femur, tibia and tarsus form a Z-figure, in which femur and tarsus are directed posteriorly. Patella-tibial suture of hind tibia is lost [but is retained on middle leg – see Behningia/fg2 (1)] (Kluge 2004: Fig.73:A–B). |
Size. Fore wing length 15–24 mm.
Distribution. Palaearctic and Oriental Region.
