Features

Often the organs of flight are reduced. Except for the group of Meconematidae the organs of flight are but get at least in males in the basal part with the Stridulationsorgan. In the Vordertibiae always find auditory organs. The tarsi are depress and four members. The third Tarsenglied is roughly heart-shaped. The cerci are rigid. The ovipositor has different lengths, but is well trained in all types. It is composed of three Gonapophysenpaaren.
