Description

Bresseel and Constant noted that this genus is closely related to Oxyartes, but is "easily distinguishable by the presence of fully developed alae, or rounded apical tegmina, possibly with protruding humps (whereas all known Oxyartes species have only tiny wing buds), the head armature, and the split and asymmetrical anal segment, a character previously unknown in Necrosciinae".[1]
