In the form of the head this genus is allied to the Acidia-Pseudospheniscus group, but is distinguished by the very short antennae, by the bare third vein, by the dc. bristles being placed on the line of the a. sa., by the peculiar coloration of the head, and by the wing-pattern of the Aciura type. Only one as yet undescribed species from Abyssinia, Br. kovácsi, Bezzi.
