Plesiomorphies and variable characters of Rhoenanthus/g1. Larvae of some species (speciosus [Rhoenanthus], obscurus [Rh.], coreanus [Potamanthus] and youi [Neopotamanthus]) have long tusks [see Potamanthus/fg1 (7)] and elongated fore legs without transverse row of setae on femur (as in Anthopotamus). Larvae of other species (formosus [Potamanthus], sabahensis [Stygifloris] and some others) have short tusks (as in Potamanthus/fg3 or somewhat longer) and a distinctly expressed transverse row of setae on fore femur [see Potamanthus/fg1 (3)].

Radial vein of hind wing from slightly arched (as in Potamanthus/fg2) to sharply arched basally. In various species imaginal and subimaginal paracercus is either completely developed in both sexes, or vestigial in male and developed in female, or vestigial in both sexes (non-unique character – see Index of characters [2.3.22]).

Shape of penis is various, but not as in Potamanthus/fg2: penis lobes are either narrow without widenings, with blunt or pointed apices (in formosus [Potamanthus] and others), or wide with blunt apices (in speciosus [Rhoenanthus] and others).

Size. Fore wing length 7–19 mm.

Distribution. South-East Asia (to the north up to Primorye Territory of Russia).
