It is often flattened towards the back. The adults have a strongly arched body. At least the males are always macroporous and able to fly. The tarsi are bipartite in contrast to the other subfamilies that have tripartite tarsi.
Occurrence and way of life

The bugs are considered to be specialized predators of scale insects .
