Characterized by the first finger being shorter in length than the second. This genus has need of further revision as it contains two divergent clades. One, the minuta group, is composed entirely of trans-Andean species occuring throughout the mountains of Colombia and Ecuador. The other group, the ventrimaculata group, is entirely Amazonian and has the synapomorphy of pale-limb reticulation.
