Description edit
The genus name was dedicated to G. B. Fairchild, for his contributions to Neotropical Psychodidae and medical entomology.[1] "According to cladistics analysis, the diagnostic characters of this genus are: aedeagus as long as or slightly shorter than ejaculatory apodeme and gonocoxites; gonocoxites without medial appendages, gonostyli basally broad, with two or more distal projections."[2]
