Harbachius Reinert, 1999

The following combinations of characters distinguish species of Harbachius from those of subgenera Neomacleaya and Verrallina. ADULTS – Eyes separated dorsally; mesepimeron without fine hair-like setae posterior or ventral to scale-patch; hindungues of both females and males with tooth. FEMALE GENITALIA – Tergum VIII index about 0.58–0.80, scales distally; sternum VIII with numerous stout setae on apical lobes, scales on relatively small area; postgenital lobe relatively narrow, apex with median indentation or broadly rounded; upper vaginal lip with median posterior area produced into large horizontal shield extending over or around spermathecal eminence; lower vaginal sclerite comprised of a pair of ribbon-like apically fused plates, attached to lower vaginal lip, without spicules; insula absent, apparently replaced by apical U-shaped projection of lower vaginal sclerite, without tuberculi; spermathecal eminence relatively simple, without spicules, with spine-lined cephalad pouch. MALE GENITALIA – Gonocoxite with moderately broad basotergal apodeme; prosophallus comprised of a pair of narrow apically approximated sclerites, longer than twice length of phallus; phallus comprised of pair of aedeagal sclerites joined by sternal bridge, each sclerite with narrow projection basolaterally extending at approximately right angle; opisthophallus usually long, with caudal margin sharply rounded or pointed; paramere longer than 1.5 times length of phallus. LARVAE – Seta 1-A single or double; seta 7-C with 2–7 branches (usually 2–4); seta 8-C branched; seta 13-C with 2–5 branches (rarely single); seta 7-I single; comb scales with stout apical spine and short lateral denticles; seta 2-X with 3–6 branches. PUPAE – Cephalothorax with well-developed ocular facets of compound eye; trumpet usually with proximal 0.4 somewhat expanded; seta 2-IV–VI thin, inserted more cephalad than seta 4; seta 9-VIII usually double or triple.
