Pronotum with short lateral margin, anterior margin convex and posterior slightly concave. Mesonotum and scutellum together longer than pronotum. Forewing with four apical cells and two subapical cells (r-m1 and m-cu1 present), outer apical cell largest; appendix broad, extended to third apical cell. Fore femur with very short and fine AD and PD setae; AV and PV with dense and long and fine setae on apical half, basal half with several long and fine setae.
