Diagnosis: Sensilas present in flagellar segments 3, 11-15. Mesonoto with prominent design. Second radial cell included in a dark area; clear distal area of the reniform R5 cell and well separated from the alar margin; a clear longitudinal area in cell R5, in front of the middle portion of the rib M1. Two ovoid spermathecs; rudimentary third and sclerotized ring present. Edeago with rounded basal arch; Apodema of the parameters with anterior projection.
