In addition to these characters, it differs from other Neotropical genera with enlarged protarsomeres and discal setae currently known (i. e., Delgadobius, Konradus, Inesius, Rhaegalius and Atopocentrum) by the gular sutures being joined anteriorly, whereas in Delgadobius, Konradus, Inesius, and Rhaegalius, the gular sutures are either joined posteriorly ( Konradus, Inesius, Rhaegalius and Atopocentrum) or not joined ( Delgadobius).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Length 8.8–10.7 mm.
