Anepisternum deeply sulcate; almost entirely pilose, except bare on small part ventrally. Anepimeron entirely pilose. Katepimeron convex; bare. Wing: vein R4+5 with posterior appendix; vein M1 perpendicular to vein R4+5; postero-apical corner of cell r4+5 widely rounded; crossvein r-m located around basal 1/6 of cell dm. Abdomen elongate, more than 3 times as long as wide; in male gradually tapering from anterior half of tergite 2 to apex; in female slightly constricted between tergites 3 and 4. Tergites 3 and 4 fused.

, this genus was diagnosed in a key by the following two characters: abdomen narrow and elongate, frons with antennal prominence (
<normalizedToken originalValue="Fühlervorsprung">'Fuehlervorsprung'</normalizedToken>
). The latter character is of limited use, as the frons is more or less extended above the antennae in many other taxa of

, the shape of the abdomen and the presence of a patch of short, spinose setae at the base of the front and mid femora were considered important characters. Although the anterobasal patches of setae are well-developed, such patches are also found in several other taxa of
<taxonomicName lsidName="" pageId="54" pageNumber="55" rank="subFamily" subFamily="Microdontinae">Microdontinae</taxonomicName>

Curran, 1931 also belongs to this genus, as it is almost identical to the type species in colouration, external morphology and male genitalia. Closer examination of available specimens, also from Sumatra and Thailand, is necessary to resolve species level taxonomy.

Syntype 1: label 1: &quot;Formosa, Shinchiku, -18. VII 1-30. J. Sonan, K. Miyake&quot;; label 2: &quot;Parocyptamus sonamii&quot;; label 3 (round, red-bordered):

. The date on the label of syntype 1 is a bit cryptic (&quot;-18. VII 1-30&quot;). It is unlikely to assume the specimen has been collected in July 1930, because

work was published on the 30th of January 1930. It seems more plausible that the date was 1-30 July 1918.
