Head considerably broader between the eyes than in Rheumaptera, and 

 more so than in Ochyria. The stales on the vertex arc raised in a project-

 short, hardly passing beyond the front; second joint very broad; third, minute, 

 conical, concealed by the projecting hairs of the second joint. Fore wings 

 broader than usual; otherwise the form of the wing is much as in Rheu-
