Hylophasma Townes, 1970:275 . Type-species: Hemisphragia debilis Townes, 1962 .

Diagnosis (Modified from Townes 1970). Apical margin of clypeus ( Fig. 2 ) evenly arched forward, sometimes slightly reflexed, without median tooth; along apical margin with weak impression. Frons with weak median groove or carina. Lower tooth of mandible slightly shorter than upper tooth. Lower end of occipital carina reaching to hypostomal carina distinctly above base of mandible. Epomia ( Fig. 5 ) long, nearly straight. Anterior and posterior transverse carinae complete. Propodeal spiracle circular to short elliptic. Fore wing with vein 1cu-a opposite 1/M, or almost so. Areolet present, lateral sides almost parallel or slightly convergent forward, 3rs-m very weak. Hind wing with M+Cu strongly arched upwardly; brachiella absent; axillus weak, close to anal margin.
