The new genus differs from all other genera of the Monophlebidae in the presence of lanceolate conical setae, densely covering the body and in the presence of the discoidal wax glands with stalked center. Morphologically, the new genus seems to be the most similar to the Palaearctic Pseudaspidoproctus Morrison, 1927 and Nearctic Llaveiella Morrison, 1927 in the presence of numerous conical setae (Gavrilov-Zimin, 2021)
Structure: Body broadly oval, covered by solid wax plates. Antennae 9-segmented. Legs normally developed; claw without denticle; claw digitules short, setose. Mouthparts well developed. Abdominal spiracles numbering 7 pairs; each abdominal spiracle with unilocular atrium, without wax pores inside or just near spiracular atrium. Anal apparatus represented by a short tube with internal sclerotized anal ring. (Gavrilov-Zimin, 2021)
