DIAGNOSIS:
The genus shares most characters with
Algon
, but may be easily separated from it by the simple (not bisinuate) posterior margin of tergite VIII in both sexes. From
Rientis
, which also has a simple posterior margin of tergite VIII, it may be separated as follows: clypeus hardly produced anteriad, slightly tapering toward labrum, a large portion of smooth circum-antennal area can be seen when viewed from above (
Rientis
: clypeus not tapering toward labrum, produced anteriad, circum-antennal area almost perpendicular to dorsal surface of head, thus only small portion visible when viewed from above); last labial palpomere with broad longitudinal depression on medial face, terminal sensorial area (
Fig. 7
) distinctly crescent-shaped (
Rientis
: medial face of last labial palpomere with indistinct depression distally, terminal sensorial area thus oblong oval or bone-shaped (
Fig. 8
)); gular sutures (
Fig. 5
) contiguous (
Rientis
: gular sutures separated (
Fig. 6
)); eyes markedly shorter than temples (
Rientis
: eyes markedly longer than temples); basiscutellum almost impunctate (
Rientis
: distinctly to coarsely punctate). Both genera share a pair of short, slightly oblique accessory lines at base of tergites III–V, with slight depression between those lines.
