Forewing anterior margin straight, only R and 1Cu cells closed, C, poststigmal abscissa of R1 and 2rs-r&Rs absent; pterostigma short; longitudinal fold distally forked. Metasomal tergum I with anterior surface subvertical. Metasomal tergum III sometimes with nodules close to posterior margin. Metasomal tergum III with tubercles close to posterior margin.
