minoribus alternantibus armat ; spinz discoidales 4, quarum prima minima, 
tertia maxima; spina prima basalis ceteris haud remota. Tibie antice 
utrinque spinulis 10 armatze ; tibize intermediz et postice apice trispilulose ; 
tibize postice minutissime denticulate, vel inermes. Lamina supraanalis 
magna, dilatata, apice angustata, elongata, compressa. 
This genus is much more slender than its allies; it falls into the group 
Fischerie. The unarmed posterior tarsus distinguish it from Jschnomantis, 
Fischeria and Sphendale ; the rounded supraanal plate of the male from 
Deiphobe and Eremoplana ; the long posterior femora from Solygia, and the 
general facies of the insect and its slenderness forbid its confusion with 
Bolivaria.

This very fine species is even more slender and elongated than the other 
members of this extraordinary genus. Characteristic points are the length of 
the antenne, which exceed the combined length of the head and pronotum ; 
the golden orange colour of the wings, with black tesselations ; the narrow, 
almost cylindrical head and pronotum; and the great length of the elytra.
