There are 4 pairs of postsutural dorsocentrals. The very few Anthomyiidae with 4 pairs are very hairy. There is only one dorsal or posterodorsal bristle on the hind tibia. Very few Anthomyiidae have this character.

There appear to be crossed interfrontal bristles, common in Anthomyiidae but mostly restricted to the tribe Azeliini in Muscidae. The small lower calypter is also typical for Anthomyiidae but found in a few Muscidae including members of tribe Azeliini.
