All species placed in this genus have the following characters 
in cummon. 
Male and female. Head (pl. 5, D) width greater than height; 
epistoma slightly protuberant, only slightly narrower than the 
elypeus and warped strongly forward from clypeal plane; meta- 
cephalon nearly flat; eye of medium size and set at a slight angle 
with posterior plane of head; frontale striate, narrow in male 
and wider in female; parafrontale with some hairs not in rows 
outside the frontal bristles which extend anteriorly to about the 
middle of the parafaciale; inner vertical bristles strong and de- 
cussate at tips; outer vertical bristles one-half to two-thirds as 
long as inner ones in female, absent in male; postvertical bristles 
of moderate size and proclinate; frontoorbital bristles absent in 
male, two (sometimes three) proclinate and one reclinate in 
female; ocellar bristles strong and proclinate; clypeus shallowly 
sunken, and nearly twice as long as wide; facial carina short, 
narrow, sharp, appearing only between and narrowly separating 
the basal.antennal segments; parafaciale narrowed above, setose 
in middle on upper half or slightly more; faciale rounded, slightly 
convex in profile, and with several rows of short black setae which 
ascend fully one-half the distance to the antennal base; vibrissa
