Comments: This small genus, comprising three species, is known only from eastern Africa. The species are readily distinguished from other Exoprosopini, being slender, dark in colour and with petiolate and infuscated wings.As remarked by François (1960), they resemble species of Baccha (Syrphidae) and are weak fliers.All three occur in arid savanna and thicket areas.

Distribution: Afrotropical: 3 species, see below.
