Small, elongate oval or ovate; sometimes submacropterous with membrane shortened and just covering abdomen, or brachypterous leaving much of abdomen exposed; coloration of body dark, often entirely black; eyes bulging and often extending laterally beyond anterolateral angles of pronotum; antennal segment II usually slender, generally no longer than width of head; femora moderately broad; claws only moderately elongate, nearly straight over much of length, pulvilli relatively large, adnate to at least basal half of ventral claw surface; parempodia setiform; vestiture of dorsum composed of simple setae, dull black to silvery or golden and shining, sometimes appearing neatly arranged.

Darkcolored
Chlamydatus
spp. are most easily confused with some of the small black species of
Plagiognathus
Fieber
and
Phoenicocoris
Reuter
, but they can be distinguished by the male genitalia and setae on the dorsum.
