This new genus differs from the closely related genera Transvenosus Wang Zhang and Cunedda Distant in having a larger body, digitiform male pygofer apex, strongly elevated and keel-like median longitudinal carina of the crown and indistinctively inflated anteclypeus, and front femur row AV with 6 enlarged basal setae.

Keywords: Hemiptera, Homoptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Evacanthini, taxonomy, morphology.
