Hagen, Stett. Ent. Zeit. XXVII, p. 372 (1866). 
This genus is allied with the larger african Myrmeleonidae 
as Palpares, Crambomorphus etc. It has the general form 
of Palpares, but is much smaller in size. The wings are 
rather broad, with a dense pale nervature. The antennae 
are short, nearly as long as the head is broad. The tarsi 
are short, with the joints equal in length, only the last 
joint is longer. The tibialspurs are as long as the two basal 
tarsal joints. Colour of the body yellow with dark markings, 
that of the wings pale yellow with black transverse lines 
in the forewings and some at the apex of the hindwings, 
Male with the app. sup. long and forming a forceps.
