antenne elongate graciles cylindric (nee articulis basi tenuioribus ut in Bethylo) in utroque sexu 13-articulate, 
in feemina minus graciles; mandibule falcata apice obliquo, 5-dentato, dente externo magno acuto (fig. 1 a) ; 
maxille lobis duobus membranaceis ovalibus ciliatis apicalibus; palpi maxillares longi, penduli 6-articulati, 
articulis tribus basalibus crassioribus, primo minuto, secundo et tertio sensim longioribus, ultimis tribus longis 
gracilibus (fig. 14); mentum parvum ad apicem paullo latius; labium parvum; palpi labiales 8-articulati, arti- 
eulis sensim longioribus (fig. 1c); collare trigono apice rotundato; metathorax transversus vel subquadratus 
longitudinaliter carinatus ; alee in utroque sexu complete ; ale antice cellulis duabus basalibus (brachialibus) 
conterminis ; radiali oblonga in apice alarum incompleta ; cubitalibus et discoidalibus obliteratis ; pedes mediocres 
femoribus crassis, unguibus tarsorum simplicibus. 
A much more detailed generic description than the above was published by Haliday in the Entomological 
Magazine, vol. iv. p. 432, in which the relative parts of the thorax were carefully investigated.
