Medium sized species of black colour with a little pale pruinosity. 

 The genus is somewhat similar to the preceding. Head a little broader 

 than thorax, of a similar shape as in Gonia, but convex behind. 

 Frons very broad and equal in both sexes. Ocellar, inner and outer 

 vertical and two orbital bristles in both sexes, the ocellar directed 

 forwards. Behind postocular bristles only a few black hairs. Frontal 

 bristles descending about to insertion of arista, above an outwards 

 directed bristle and behind it still a couple of bristles. Clieeks hairy. 

 Vibrissæ strong, ascending to near insertion of arista, somewhat 

 biserial below. Eyes bare. Epistoma strongly retreating, a little re- 

 flected below, not produced below the large vibrissa. Oral cone not 

 long and proboscis short, not slender. Antennæ inserted well above 

 middle of the eye; second joint short, third long, about eight times 

 as long as second; arista with second joint elongated; in female 

 third antennal joint shorter. Thorax quadratic; three postsutural 

 dorsocentrals and three præ- and three postsutural acrostichals; a 

 præsutural intraalar bristle. Scutellum with three marginal bristles 

 on each side, the apical wanting or very small; a pair of præapical 

 and a pair of discai bristles. Three sternopleural bristles. Ptero- 

 pleura with a bundle of hairs and a bristle above. Abdomen with 

 excavation on second segment not reaching hind margin; it has 

 discai and marginal bristles, second segment with a pair of marginal, 

 fifth with bristles on most part. Genitalia forming a small knob at 

 end of abdomen below. Legs with long bristles, anterodorsal bristles 

 on hind tibiæ unequal; claws and pulvilli elongated in male; front 

 tarsi in female simple. Wings with first posterior cell closed at the 

 margin, ending somewhat before apex of wing; discai angle very 

 obtuse, apical cross-vein very sloping; posterior cross- vein near 

 the angle; no costal spine, or no distinct.
