This little group leads off from the preceding genera to Xenops 

 with its up-turned mandible, the gonys being only slightly ascending 

 at the extremity, and not nearly so definitely formed in this respect 

 as in Xenops and Anahatoides. The wings are rather short and the 

 tail proportionately long. The genus ranges from Mexico to 

 Southern Brazil.
