Typical appearance of this subfamily. Body flat, form “lute-like” (
Fig. 2
B–D). Head small with obvious frontal rostrum, first joint of antennae large, as wide as frontal rostrum; pronotum transverse, little wide in posterior margin, forewing large with mirror. Male genitalia (
Fig. 3
): ovoid, length:width=1.69, sclerotization weak; rachi (=guiding rod) large and translucent, longer than epiphallus, little widened and bifurcated at apical part; epiphallic lateral lobes highly sclerotized, thin and long but not over rachi, the apical part upwards and inwards curved under rachi; ectoparameres with two highly sclerotized short lobes, lobes also under rachi and inwards curved; rami fused with each other in anterior part of genitalia. This new genus differs from
Trellius
in its short epiphallic lateral lobes and large rachi, and differs from genus
Vescelia
in its short ectoparameres.
