This genus contains three small bugs of around 5 mm. They generally have dark antennae. Although external characters are useful, some specimens cannot be reliably identified without dissection.

Detailed examination of the specimen is needed to identify the species (a photograph alone is not normally sufficient because key features are too small or hidden).

Often found on umbellifers.

Adult: All year.

Locally distributed across the UK.
