Small to large flies with widely varying appearance but always with rather short, broad abdomen densely covered with pile which varies from erect, long and "pufflike" to straggly, sparse vestiture exaggerated in tufts on the side of the abdomen. In still other species, as in the great Bomius-like species punctatus Fabricius, the abdominal vestiture while dense is short and the facial pile is reduced. The antennae in this genus are elongate; the first segment is from 2 to 3 times as long as wide, usually slender, sometimes a little thickened, its pile either long and conspicuous and completely encircling the segment,.
