Appearance
Józef Razowski and Vitor O. Becker (2016) described the genus as
characterized by a slender forewing, usually simple markings and the lack of a terminal row of dots on the forewing. There are usually some strigulae and dots in the subterminal fascia, and the costal half of the median fascia is well developed, often extending near the middle of the median cell posteriorly.
