, i.e., ovipositor heavily sclerotized and dorsoventrally flattened, rugose sclerotized appendix bursae, and medially corrugated ductus bursae in the female; pleural sclerite a double helix in the male. It is distinguished from all known Nearctic and western Palearctic apameine genera by the conspicuous asymmetry of the saccular lobes of the male genitalia. This condition appears to be a uniquely derived synapomorphy shared with other as yet undescribed apameine genera restricted to southeastern United States. A sclerotized medial protrusion arising caudally from the basal margin of the male juxta appears to be autapomorphic. Additionally, the left valve bears a minute setose projection at the base of the sacculus, resembling a miniature clavus, which may be autapomorphic. The sole included species,
