The species of this genus have hairy eyes, unarmed tibiæ and a tufted thorax. The dorsum of the abdomen is more or less tufted, but in some species the tuftings are not noticeable. Several species which seem to me to belong to Graphiphora (Taeniocanpa) have been referred to this genus ; among these I may mention orobia of Harvey, modesta, incincta and thecata of Morrison, and the species described by me as rufula and puerilis.
