Pronotum transverse, usually with two pairs of prominent posteroangular setae, but one species with these setae no longer than the rest of the seven posteromarginal setae; anterior margin usually without any setae longer than discals. Metanotum with median setal pair arising at anterior margin, paired campaniform sensilla usually present near posterior margin. Fore wing with both longitudinal veins bearing complete row of setae. Tergite VIII laterally with pair of ctenidia more clearly defined, anterolateral to spiracles; posteromarginal comb on tergite VIII with small median group of microtrichia and lateral thirds of margin with few microtrichia. Female abdominal tergite X scarcely longer than IX and with length about equal to basal width. Male similar to but smaller than female, sternites III–VII each with oval to transverse pore plate.
