 following joints long, thin and cylindrical ; ocelli present ; 

 wings similar in form, the posterior shorter ; veins distinct ; 

 the discoidal cell in all the wings is shorter than the apical 

 cells and placed obliquely ; in the males there is at the base 

 of the anterior wings a drum-like hairy lobe, which is only 

 attached on the outer margin and can be erected ; hairy 

 covering thin ; spurs 2, 4, 4 ; intermediate legs of the females 

 dilated; abdomen of the females obtusely conical.

The males have, on the antepenultimate ventral segment, 

 a broad, short, horny lobe, and upon the penultimate only 

 an indication of the same. The app. sup. are long, two- 

 jointed, foliaceous, with a fine tooth bent upwards at their 

 apex ; the app. infer, appear to be wanting, but there is a 

 small boat-shaped lobe, produced into a long point, in the 

 middle of the ventral side of the last segment. The penis is 

 thick, cylindrical, and furnished with a brush of hairs at the 

 tip.
