Generic diagnosis. —

(Slightly modified from Rowell and Oumarou-Ngoute 2025 in terms of the shape of the ventral surface of female subgenital plate). Our modification: ventral surface of female subgenital plate flat, smoothly rounded, or with a medial groove in the posterior part, which is bounded laterally by two slightly inflated ridges not exceeding the posterior edge of the plate. See Rowell and Oumarou-Ngoute (2025) for the complete redescription and diagnosis of the genus.
