joint of which is 5-6 times the length of the 2nd. Palps short, not 

 projecting much beyond the half of the buccal opening ; proboscis 

 moderately thin, usually deflexed. The great vibrissae are set on the 

 level of the buccal border. Genae and peristome narrow. Thorax 

 with 2 pairs only of acrostical setae ; the 2nd pair (intermediate pair) 

 in front of the suture, the hind pair in front of the scutellum. Three 

 dorso-central setae; sternopleural =1 + 1. Scutellum with only 2 

 long marginal setae, one lateral, short and weak, the other subapical, 

 long, robust and diverging, no apical setae. Abdomen : All the

segments 1 and 2 with 2 median setae ; segments 3 and 4 with a 

 complete row ; segment 1, elongate and thinned in front, thickens 

 behind the mediocre excavation. Wings with the 1st hind cell open 

 to the apex of the wing ; the cubitus of the 4th nervure is obtuse and 

 more or less- rounded ; apical transverse straight, then bent parallel to 

 the 3rd nervure ; posterior transverse distant from the cubitus ; lastly 

 the 3rd nervure is ciliated often to the neighbourhood of the small 

 transverse. Inferior squamae very developed and with a visible border. 

 Legs long ; anterior tarsi longer than the tibiae and slender ; anterior 

 claws minute.
