DIAGNOSIS: Predominantly black, velvety; ocellars and postorbital setae short; female without fronto-orbital setae; occipital setae present, not extending to gena. Dorsocentral setae short, uniserial (prescutellar pair largest); 3–5 strong notopleurals; 1 strong postalar; 2–3 pairs scutellars. Male femora without large setae; mesotibia with 2 apical spurs; metatarsomeres 1 to 3 or 4 laterally flattened and expanded, length of tarsomere 3 ≥ 1, metabasitarsomere short. Wing with minute, extremely faint microtrichia, absent from most/all costal cells; costal edge generally slightly convex proximal to tip of Sc; M usually forked (simple [M 2 lost] in 3 extant species), fork short. Crossvein dm-cu less than twice its length from wing margin, usually much less; length of cell cup equal to or generally less than length of apical vein.
