Also, more importantly, I have elucidated the morphology of the genital segments and established the identity and homologies of most of the appendages in all families and genera, and this with a degree of cer- tainty that naturally may not be absolute but that I generally consider satisfactory (except in the case of the Hydroptilidae). [...] The maxillary palpi are the site of numerous variations and often of sexual dimorphism, and the number of segments can vary from 5 to 1 (Figs. [...] The number of forks can be grouped into formulas like the spurs of the legs, and these formulas, e.g., I, II, III, IV, V or I, V, immediately and with little written explanation, express the degree of specialization of the vein system of a given wing. [...] It is always more developed in the than in the and empties into a slight concavity on the sternite or at the base of a lobe or on a filament of variable length (Figs. [...] The broad structural lines of the genitalia provide excellent characters for classification of the genera, while the details of the shapes provide essential characters for diagnosis of the species.
