diagnosis
Diagnosis Adult Body size moderately small, length about 5.0 – 9.0 mm; body color dark-brown. Cephalic setal warts similar to those of Apatania, with a pair of lateral ocelli. Fore wings transparent, with a patch of dense hairs near the apex of vein Sc; vein R with a row of close, short, black hairs from the apex to the sub-base (Mosely 1942); FI – III and FV presented in both fore and hind wings; discoidal cells in the fore wings are closed but are open in the hind wings. Spurs 1, 2, 4. Abdominal sternum V with a lateral process on each side in male, by which males are easily separated from any other genus of the tribe Apataniini. However, due to the absence of such structures, females of the genus must be identified by a short apical vulvar lobe of sternum VIII and a roof-shaped, slightly sclerotized segment X. The vulvar lobes of sternum VIII in female Apatania Kolenati, 1848 are usually slender, thumb-like or slender, rectangular.
