This genus contains two species, both very pale in colour 
and clothed with rather long pale hairs. The ¢ is somewhat 
more elongate and parallel-sided than the ?, and has the 
second joint of the antennz thickened ; the rostrum extends 
to beyond the posterior cox; the pronotum is rather 
short and trapeziform, the base nearly straight; the elytra 
are very thin and somewhat translucent ; the tibiz are armed 
with fine dark spines not rising from dark spots, third 
joint of the tarsi shorter than the second ; the wing-cell 
normally has a hook-like nerve, but in some specimens it 
is without it. We have both species in England.
