Diagnosis. The genus is different from other genera by the extremely elongated juxta.
Description. Head with frons round; proboscis reduced; antennae weakly serrated; labial palpi porrect, long, the third segment about half length of the second, with apex pointed; maxillary palpi porrect, about 1/3 as long as labial palpi. Female with anal tuft on the seventh abdominal segment.
Wings (

). Wing patterns simple, forewing usually with an oblique line from apex to inner margin. Forewing slender, R

before upper angle of cell, not closed to Sc; vein R

Male genitalia. Uncus and gnathos beak-like, apex pointed; tegumen broad, with sclerotized dorsal ridge X-shaped; base of subteguminal process broader than other genus of the
Schoenobiinae
; valva with the same width from base to apex, apex truncated or oblique; vinculum broad; juxta with apex extremely elongated; saccus usually round; coremata present, weakly sclerotized; aedeagus usually with a cornutus, various in different species; ductus ejaculatorius arising from middle of aedeagus.
Female genitalia. Anal papillae broad, covered with long setae; apophyses anterioris and posterioris well developed; ostium bursae broad, wrinkled, dense minute spines present inside; ductus bursae membranous, relatively short, no longer than corpus bursae; ductus seminalis arising below ostium bursae; corpus bursae elongated, membranous.
Distribution.
Oriental Region
.
Remarks. The genus comprises four species, including two species from
