The structure of the phallic complex is very unique to this genus, with strongly sclerotized ectophallic membrane, sometimes forming a strong dorsal shield with the tendency of forming a capsule covering the endophallus and the cingulum (Dirsh 1963). Another key diagnostic feature is the moderately large, compressed, widened and weakly sclerotized distal part of the apical valves of penis, with narrow and strongly sclerotized valves of cingulum.</paragraph>

This genus might be in need of a revision, since Dirsh (1963) in his revision found a great diversity in the structure of the phallic complex but did not revise the genus. We also could not revise the genus since we only have a single female specimen found in
