may be recognized by the following combination of characters: crown usually rounded or subangulate; ocelli distinct; tegmina with four apical cells; wings with a single apical cell; the last ventral segment of female and the external and internal male genitalia are usually diagnostic.
This is a genus with a large number of species which are small or very small, usually plain green, greenish, or golden yellow in color. Only the species in the Nearctic and Palearctic faunas have been extensively studied and very few species have been reported previously from the Pacific islands.
