The genus is distinguished by the very narrow /oce, with 

 a keel-shaped tubercle, the face becoming narrower still at 

 antennse, the moustache reaching nearly to the antennse. 

 Wings with the first posterior cell more or less narrower at 

 border, the fourth closed or open. In the Australian species 

 the front posterior cell is hardly narroAver at border.
