Diagnosis
Male frons greatly narrowed, covered with bright silver velutum, numerous large setae around base of antenna and on scape; gonocoxites with large medial atrium; hypandrium fused to gonocoxites; apex of gonostylus directed dorsally; outer gonocoxal process longer than inner gonocoxal process; male abdominal velutum extensive or restricted to posterior margins of tergites; distiphallus broadly tapering, apex directed ventrally (Winterton et al 1999b).
Closely related to Taenogera, species of Taenogerella are easily distinguished by their relatively smaller size, single row of postocular setae in the male and differences in the male genitalia (Winterton et al 1999b).
