	abstract = {<p>Larval, pupal, and adult morphology, biogeography, and generic classification of the monotrysian family Opostegidae are reviewed. Three new genera Notiopostega, Eosopostega, and Paralopostega are proposed, and the former subgenus Pseudopostega Kozlov is raised to generic status. Also described for the first time arefour new species, Notiopostega atrata from Chile, Eosopostega issikii from Japan, Opostegoides malaysiensis from Malaysia, and Opostega afghani from Afghanistan. A synoptic catalog listing 106 specific names grouped under the above six genera is also included. Information relating to the type, type locality, and general collecting data is provided for each name. The text is supplemented by numerous SEM photographs and line drawings of larval, pupal, and adult morphological structures.</p>
