Ce genre sera intermédiaire entre les Nemosia et Chlorospingus; l'oiseau pour lequel je le propose a la bec aussi mince que les espèces du premier de ces genres, mais plus court, et ressemblant plus par sa forme générale à ceux du second. En général il a les formes plus sveltes que les Chlorospingus, un pareil mode de coloration, la queue plus longue, à rectrices égales, excepté les externes, qui sont plus courtes que les autres, les ailes plus longues et moins obtuses à 3e, 4e, et 5e remiges les plus longues et presque égales entre elles. 5.
