basal parts of the antennal flagellum of ♂ equally finely or coarsely hairy.
Palpal proximal segment with several bristles.
Tibial end of legs 1 with strictly uniseriate row of bristles or spines on a basal ridge.
NOT: Tibial ends of legs 2, and/or legs 3, with a reduced spur or absent. BUT Tibial ends of legs 2, and legs 3 with a pair of subequal spurs !!
single-row tibial crest of p1 lobus-like to lobed and mostly very narrow;
r1 very short, the r1 opening in c strongly approximated to the rs transverse vein;
hypopygium compact and often small;

Stylus compact and shortened, stylus apex broad or narrowly pointed and apically/subapically with a terminal tooth;
