 Only one species is classified in this genus and is medium in size. The thorax
is olive brown in coloration and the abdomen is patterned with rusty red and black.
The inner wings show a rusty red coloration near the nodus and the stigmas
are dark. This Skimmer has broad hindwings adapted for
gliding. Face and eyes rusty red.
Females thorax is tan with brown, also with a patterned abdomen. Unlike the
male Rock Skimmer, the female has no red color to the wings or body.
Rock skimmers can be found perched on rocks in small
mountain streams in oak and pine forests or just flittering
about over shorelines or making short patrolling flights low
over the water.
