Diagnosis. (Modified from Barrantes et al. 2020.) Pale, fragile taxa, usually 5–7 mm in length, with wings greatly exceeding body (~2x body length), often held somewhat upward and away from the body in life. Head strongly laterally compressed, with lateral keels on frons nearly in contact; projected beyond eyes for a distance about equal to eye width and angled upwards at ~45-degree angle, subtriangular at apex (lateral view). Vertex usually triangular in dorsal view, disc deeply concave, lateral carinae keeled, pustulate, strongly converging to meet before fastigium. Antennae with first segment very small, second segment greatly elongated (reaching or exceeding apex of head), subantennal process absent. Forewings bearing pustules along basal portion of costal vein, humeral region of costa produced into weak lobe, or not produced; media fused with radius + subcostal near wing base, forked in proximal quarter, RP forked from RA + ScP in proximal half of wing. Combined Pcu+A1 extending to reach CuP (i.e., clavus open). Second tarsomere of hind tarsus with row of 4–5 spinules.
