Diagnosis

Head subfoliaceous, produced in front of the eyes, roundly arched. Ocelli probably functionless, but vestiges large, dorsal, close to the anterior margin, nearer to one another than to the eyes. Apex of first segment of antennae reaching to lateral margin of head. Vertex long and narrow. Tegmina without an appendix. The radial vein seems to lose itself in the costal; the median and cubital have a short common stem and unite again in a short stem just basal of the apical cells. There is a discoidal cell. The median and cubital are the most distinct of the veins (Kirkaldy 1906).
