femora curved and compressed, basal joint of tarsi long and 

 stont, the middle joint shortest, apical joint not quite as long as 

 the basal one, Hemelytra almost parallel-sided, the costa wide 

 and continuous, with the margin narrowly reflexed, very slightly 

 curved ; cuneus large, broad wedge-shaped, slightly curved j 

 areole of membrane elongate subquadrate. 



This genus seems to form a transition between the genera 

 before mentioned and the subcylindrical Cylleeoraria represented 

 by Xenetus and its most closely allied genera.
