In the male the length of the anteocular portion of the head—measured, in lateral view, from the ventral edge of the eye adjacent to the antennal insertion to the apex of the clypeus—is different among the three genera.

The lateral deeply folded portions of the plate containing the sclerotized rings are strongly sclerotized and span the width of the genital chamber. The left side of dorsal labiate plate is rolled in on itself (like a scroll, anterior view), a feature not observed in other genera (fig. 11D, E). The medial portion of the dorsal labiate plate has a pair of broad sclerotized areas that are confluent on a sunken midline (fig. 11D). The dorsal labiate plate in species of
