Wesm., Nouv. Mem. Ac. Brux., 1837, p. 8. 

 Maxillary palpi 5-, labial 3-jointed. Face not produced or rostri- 

 form. Mesothorax obsoletely trilobate. Mesopleurse without a 

 ftirrow. Three cubital areolets, the 1st separated from the prae- 

 discoidal. 



To this genus belong a few rather large species with 

 hyaline wings. The nervure separating the 1st cubital 

 from the praediscoiclal is largely interrupted. According 

 to Keinhard the mesothorax is not trilobate; never- 

 theless the sutures are always slightly indicated.
