Diagnostic characters
. Pronotum smooth, with series of regular grooves, without setae; Prothorax long, cylinderical almost 1.5 times the length of the pterothorax. Anterior radial cells characteristically subdivided to resemble more than the typical four cells. The number of Rs (RP) branches and RA cells show significant intraspecific differences in the species of this genus, hence should be combined with other characters to delimit species. This variation was mentioned and noted by
Yang and Liu (2010)
. So, we are adding this in the diagnostic characters of this genus. Especially there is variation in left and the right wing of same specimen in RA cells.
