is unquestionably assigned to the ithonid genus-group by the following combination of characters: robust and hairy body, retracted head under pronotum, costal space dilated basally and narrowed disproportionately distally, separated Sc and R1 reaching the anterior margin straightly before the wing apex, MP first fork distant from the wing base and beyond the divergence of MA.
