Adorybiotidae from Stec et al. 2020: “Tubercles/cushions with aggregations of microgranules on their surfaces present on all legs and on the dorso-caudal cuticle. Cuticular pores present in all instars. Double Y-shaped claws, with the two branches forming an evident common tract of a variable length. Large, comb-like lunulae under claws on each leg, equipped with long and evenly distributed teeth. Buccal tube with the ventral lamina and a cuticular thickening (which can form a large apophysis) on the anterio-dorsal wall of the buccal tube. Two macroplacoids and a microplacoid positioned close to the second macroplacoid in the bulbus. Ornamented eggs without areolation on the surface between the egg processes laid freely to the environment.”
