Medium-sized katydid, mostly green throughout when alive with dorsal part of tegmen dark brown or black. This genus is very similar in habitus to

but differs by the absence of small median emargination along the posterior margin of the dorsal plate [= disc] of pronotum; presence of a small dark basal spot on the dorsal part of female tegmen (instead of a large spot in
Arnobia
); male subgenital plate 2 or 4 lobes, with 1 pair of long lateral lobes and 1 pair of shorter median lobes; and presence of unpaired sclerites of the male genitalia (
