Observations of specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal characteristic features of this group.[1] The flies exhibit a slender, elongated body form typical of the genus, with notably long, thin legs. The thorax and abdomen often display metallic or iridescent coloration, a common trait among many dolichopodids. The wings are generally clear or lightly tinted, with characteristic venation patterns that are diagnostic for the family.
