The new genus is similar to Alafrasca Lu & Qin, 2014, Lumicella Lu & Qin, 2013, Schizandrasca Anufriev, 1972, and Circinans Qin & Liu, 2014 in that the CuA veins of hindwings are branched (Fig. 6), but the new genus differs from the above genera by the following characters: the subgenital plate is triangular with a broad base and only one large seta (Figs 8, 10). Alafrasca Lu & Qin differs from the new genus in lacking an anal process branching at the apex (Lu and Qin 2014 b). Lumicella Lu & Qin differs from the new genus in the following aspects: the subgenital plate is not triangular, the paramere is slim, and the apophysis bears a prominent dentifer (Lu et al. 2013).
