  This 
  subgenus 
  is 
  very 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  Myiagreutes 
  having 
  the 
  

   same 
  venation 
  and 
  structure 
  of 
  fore 
  tibia. 
  In 
  the 
  armature 
  of 
  the 
  

   fore 
  femur, 
  however, 
  it 
  agrees 
  with 
  Eothbergia, 
  new 
  subgenus, 
  

   next 
  described, 
  though 
  there 
  are 
  about 
  3 
  bristles 
  instead 
  of 
  one 
  

   basad 
  of 
  the 
  interruption 
  of 
  the 
  antero-ventral 
  series. 
  Only 
  one 
  

   species 
  is 
  known.
