Hind wing colorless and transparent, with ambient vein connecting with costa vein, CuA branched in most members of genus (Figs 41,42).

Abdominal apodemes underdeveloped and extending to 3rd or 4th of abdominal sternite (Figs 28, 36, 43, 56, 59, 71). Male pygofer well sclerotized, pygofer side elongated caudoventrally with a large and gradually narrowed hook arising on inner side (Figs 26, 32, 44, 50, 57, 67), and with numerous fine setae on dorsal margin (Figs 45, 51, 62, 68). Subgenital plate broad basally and extended beyond pygofer side with a row of macrosetae laterally and some rigid microsetae apically (Figs 27, 35, 46, 52, 63, 69). Paramere long with slim caudal part and broad central part (Figs 31, 39, 49, 54, 64, 73). Connective short and fused with aedeagus, lateral feet developed.
