). The genus is further diagnosed by the combination of a relatively tall gena (eye height 1.52.4× genal height), a brown microtrichose notum, 35 pairs of dorsocentral bristles including at least one presutural pair, 24 pairs of dorsal bristles on the basal half of the mid tibia, an enlarged ventral seta on the mid basitarsus, male S5 with a posteromedial emargination surrounded by thick or long setae, and a surstylus divided into anterior and posterior parts (usually with long setae on the posterior section). The eastern Australian species form a monophyletic group further diagnosed below, but the single Western Australian species differs widely and is only provisionally included in the genus, as discussed below.
