Diagnosis.
Each forewing has a jugal lobe and in each hind wing a small cluster of stout setae immediately basal to the humeral vein. A forewing-hind wing coupling system is absent. The forewing anal cell (
ac
) is large and roughly triangular distally, with
A1+2+3
diverging from the ambient vein (
av
) basally and converging distally to an insertion on
av
.
Cu2
terminates on
A1+2+3
at the intersection of
A1+2+3
on
av
. Compound eyes of the adult of both sexes are glabrous. The female has flattened middle tarsi.
Description.
Large to very large (
fwl
:
9.2–20.5 mm
) hydropsychids with mottled forewings, irregular hyaline maculations on light fuscous to light yellow background; forewings each with forks I–V present, forks I, II, V stalked to approximately half distance from its origin to wing margin; hind wings each with forks I, II, III, and V, fork IV absent, all forks stalked; forewing discoidal and medial cells present; discoidal and thyridial nygmata present; thyridial cell elongate-triangular; crossvein
r-m
present, attached to base of fork II and slightly distal to insertion of
m-cu
on M; discoidal cell half as long as medial cell.
