Diagnosis. Robust, brachypterous, fore wings usually reaching hind margin of tergite VI, sometimes only hind margin of tergite III. Metope slightly elongate, with strong median carina running from its upper margin throughout postclypeus and with weak sublateral carinae running from the same point with median carina on its upper margin, but not reaching metopoclypeal suture. Coryphe slightly transverse. Fore wings spread out, with its basal parts before anterior radial vein turned downwards nearly at right angle to the rest of the corium; without hypocostal plate; clavus almost as long as whole wing, opened.

Male pygofer vertically elongate, narrow. Phallobase horseshoe-shaped in lateral view, with two hardly sclerotized plates dorso-apically bearing teeth. Aedeagus not visible above phallobase, with pair of long ventral hooks directed downwards. Capitulum of style on long neck, narrow in dorsal view.

Hind margin of female sternite VII deeply concave medially. Female anal tube elongate, with pointed apex in dorsal view, convex in lateral view. Gonoplacs convex, without carinae.Anterior connective lamina of gonapophyse VIII with one distinct tooth in apical group. Endogonocoxal process with a simple narrow apical part. Posterior connective laminae of gonapophyses IX wide in ventral and lateral views, with two widely spaced lobes of median field and small lateral fields. Distal parts of posterior connective laminae of gonapophyses IX curved at obtuse angle in ventral view.
