The members of this genus are oblong insects, which vary considerably in colour and 
punctuation ; about half a dozen have been described from South America, but none 
hitherto from Central America. They may easily be known by the formation of the 
tegmina, which are strongly and irregularly variegated, with large veins and very 
irregular areas, the area at the extreme apex being small, almost semicircular, and 
stylate; the margins are fairly broad, but very much narrower than in Tragopa.
