Diagnosis

This genus runs to Criomorphus in Muir's key (1915: 296) but differs generically in having relatively longer antennae, a differently shaped head, the post-tibial calcar toothed along the margin, and a radically different conformation of the male genitalia. From Notohyus, to which superficially it would seem to be nearest, it is well separated by the shape of the head, the proportions of the antennae, the presence of ocelli, the length of the rostrum, and, in the female, by the sclerotized pregenital sternite. (Fennah 1965)
