Flagellar segments nodiform, with paired, digitate ascoids; prothorax with stalked allurement organ with sclerotized apex about half length of head; wing with cross veins faint, close to wing base; genitalia with gonocoxites stoutly parallellogram- -shaped, shorter than gonostyli, gonostyli curved away from aedeagus, epandrium twice as wide as long, surstyli with an aseriate cluster of dimorphic tenacula, some elongate, fringed and some shorter, spatulate; aedeagus with basiphallus laterally expanded, half as long as distiphallus; distiphallus consisting of a pair of distal sclerites surrounded by a lightly-sclerotized hull; parameres conjoined, forming a flat bowl basally with a pair of inward pointing digitate appendages and distal bifurcate back-folded processes.
