Type species

Andes undulatus Stål, 1870 (subsequent designation in Muir 1925).

Diagnosis (modified from Tsaur et al. 1991)

Vertex narrowest and transverse at apex, widening to base, with U- or V-shaped basal emargination; lateral carinae strongly elevated; median carina absent. Forewing in resting position steeply tectiform; ScP +RA, RP and MP arising separately from a common point on basal cell or forming a minute common stem.
