This genus is equivalent to Anaplecta, of the Anaplectinae ; but the elytra are convex 

 and corneous, very finely punctured, without apparent nervures, except when viewed by 

 transmitted light, and without anal sulcus. The wings have the appendicular field 

 larger than in Anaplecta (being half the length of the wing) ; the costal area is also 

 more dilated at its extremity, with but few non-incrassated costal venulae, the margin 

 incrassated and more or less horny.
