Body length, 2.5-4.0 mm; oral opening moderate sized, diameter greater than length of malar space; eye large, malar space 1/3 eye height, teple less than eye width; 27-34 antennomeres; occipital carina not meeting hypostomal carina; mesosoma with thick yellow hair; mesonotum not declivous anteriorly; notauli scrobiculate, meeting in narrow rugose area at scutellum (obscured somewhat by decumbent hair); sternaulus present as weakly scrobiculate area in middle of mesopleuron; propodeum horizontal, distinct median and lateral carinae and apical areola; fore wing with vein r-m present, cell 2CU closed at apex, vein 2cu-a present; hind wing with vein 1-M slightly more than 2/3 length of M-CU, vein r-m less than 1/2 length of 1-M; first metasomal segment short, apical width about equal to length; ovipositor shorter than metasoma [1].

It is distinguished from the genus Neurocrassus by the absence of dorsal tentorial pits near the antennal sockets (the main generic feature of Neurocrasus), the parallel vein clearly arising before the middle of the distal margin of brachial cell, the first mediocubital abscissa of hind wing shorter than the second abscissa, and the vertex and mesopleuron densely granulate; the fore wing of male without a sclerotised enlargement; a postfurcal position of the recurrent vein of the fore wing and the radial vein arising before the middle of pterostigma [1].
It is similar to the genus Dendrosotinus (including the subgenus Gildoria) but differs by the postfurcal position of the recurrent vein, the shortened submedial cell of the hind wing, and the densely granulate vertex and mesopleuron; the presence of a basoventral tooth on the hind coxa (usually absent in Dendrosotinus, except for D. (G.) elongatus Achterberg) and the parallel vein of the fore wing not located interstitially (usually interstitial in Dendrosotinus, except for D. gratus Belokobylskij). But this last character could be not valid to separate both species because it is almost interstitial in small japanese species of Guayguata [1].
