Cyrenoberothinae MacLeod & Adams 1967
KEY TO THE CYRENOBEROTHINAEGENERA 1. Wings: Sc and RA fused apically (forewing of a few specimens of C. penai not fused, but the veins run toward each other and are connected by an apical crossvein)....................................................................... 2 - Wings: Sc and RA not fused apically............................................................................................................... 52. Forewing: subcostal veinlets forking apically; five or six RP branches. Extant............................................ 3- Forewing: subcostal veinlets not forking apically; two or three RP branches. Extinct................................. 4 3. Forewing with dark marks surrounding the major forks and crossveins. Male gonocoxites 11 with thin dorsal arc connecting the two main pieces. Female with stubby hypocaudae. Southern Africa........................................................................................................................................................................ Manselliberotha - Forewing hyaline. Male gonocoxites 11 without a thin dorsal arc connecting the two main pieces. Female without hypocaudae. Chile........................................................................................................ Cyrenoberotha 4. Forewing: well-defined pterostigma; Sc + RA without branches; one crossvein between CuP and A1. Early Cretaceous, Lebanon.................................................................................................................. Sibelliberotha - Forewing: pterostigma not well defined; Sc + RA with long branches forking apically; no crossvein between CuP and A1. Mid Cretaceous, Myanmar..................................................................................... Protoberotha 5. Forewing: most subcostal veinlets forked; one crossvein between MA and MP. Hindwing M fork distal, near the origin of the basal branch of RP. Antennae longer than forewing. Extant, Brazil................................................................................................................................................................................. Speleoberotha gen. nov. - Forewing: subcostal veinlets not forked; no crossvein between MA and MP. Hindwing M fork basal, near the level of vein 1r-m. Antennae shorter than forewing.
