This genus differs from F&^tatatttivi by having the base of Lin second median nervule of the 

 anterior wings about twice as far apart from that of the lower as from that of the upper median 

 nervule; the first subcostal neniilo of the anterior wings is emitted more nearly opposite the base of 

 the lower than of the second median nervule.
