This genus includes one species in North America. It is medium in size.
The mature male has a solid brown to black thorax and a black stout abdomen
with pale chevrons running dorsally. With age these chevrons gradually change
to all black. Both wings have a black lacy filigree pattern on them almost appearing
as a solid black wing. Eyes are streaked with brown and tan and upon maturity change
to nearly all black.
In female and juvenile males, the thorax is brown and mottled with tan. The
female abdomen is shorter than the male and dark brown in coloration with
v-shaped chevrons running dorsally. The lace patterns on the females wings
aren't nearly as closed as that of the males showing less black.
