Plesiomorphies of Dolania. Unlike Behningia/fg3, wings without gemination. 

Unlike Behningia/fg4, larval hind leg has femur moderately widened, tibia not folded into femur, tarsus not bent relative to tibia; thus, femur, tibia and tarsus are stretched to one line; in spite of very strong shortening of hind tibia [see Behningia/fg2 (1)] its patella-tibial suture is retained (as well as on middle leg) (Kluge 2004: Fig.73:D).

Size. Fore wing length 13–16 mm. 

Distribution. Eastern Nearctic.


Nominal species in Dolania/g(1): 1 species
