Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Dichotomous keys to the species, with short species accounts for these two small subfamilies.

There have been some additions and changes since 1977, not least in Agrypon, where minutum has been reinstated, two species removed and a further 5, mainly in the A. anxium complex, added.

Because the subfamilies have changed since Perkins 1959 Key, a supplementary subfamily key is given on page 3.
