Though Schiner states in the generic description that theabdomen has seven segments, he yet says with regard to the whiteor yellow hair tufts at the apex in all three species: am vorletztenRinge, but this is not correct as the hair tufts are sitting on theseventh segment. 4.

Frons and epistomasomewhat, more or less, protruding. The eyes much narrower thanhigh, more or less reniform, touching in the male, well separated inthe female; in the male the upper facets are somewhat larger thanthe lower. Antennae inserted near to each other, somewhat abovethe middle. Jowls small, not or very slightly descending below theeyes. Antennae five-jointed, the first joint long, cylindrical, the secondshort, the third the longest, the two last forming a small style thefirst joint of which is short, the last terminating in a short, Epistoma somewhat short; the mouth aperture large andlooking forwards.
