Gibson (1972) subdivided the genus into five subgenera according to the kind of vein 3RSb (tubular or spectral), shape of lower face (rounded or flat) and ocellar triangle (raised or not raised into pyramidal projection), and level of scutellum in reference to
metanotum (at same level or medially at higher level).
Receptive females mount males and feed on secretions from a gland on the males'
metanotum for a short period (5 sec to 5 min) before copulation and an extended period (30 sec to 30 min) after copulation (Bell 1979; Brown 1994).
33) Thorax hemispherical,
metanotum surpassed by scutellum (1);
metanotum not surpassed by scutellum (0).
Thoracic coloration: mesonotum and
metanotum brown, pronotum and post-notum light brown, paratergite and pleura pale but pale brown at the base of the katepimeron, katepisternum and coxae.
Prothoracic spiracle slit-like, very long, reaching nearly up to
metanotum. Ventral edge of paranota rounded.
Plate V: Features around the ocellar triangle and the
metanotum 10a.
1A): Slightly elongated body; triangular light browned head with broad tylus, surpassing the juga and with four dark browned spines in the apex; small yellowish-browned pale eyes; ocelli absent; paled yellow four segmented rostrum surpassing the metacoxae; antennae with four segments, number I being smaller than segments II and III, and segment number IV fusiform, all of them with light browned coloration, except IV paled yellow; pale browned thorax; pronotum larger than the mesonotum and
metanotum; yellowish paled femora, tibiae, senescent glands and also the abdomen dorsally and ventrally.
