One species recorded in North America. These are small to medium in size,
the thorax is brown with two white lateral stripes, the thin abdomen is orange brown
with a dorsal black stripe and widened at one or both ends. The broad hindwings
have a basal brown band and orange-brown wing veins. In mature males the forehead
is metallic violet with a pale face. The legs are long and slender.
These Gliders seldom perch but when they do, it is in an oblique position on top
of stems of floating vegetation.
This genus looks and behaves much like species of the Tramea genus.
