This subgenus is characterized by weak pronotal humeral angles, dorsoventral ridges, short malar space, distinct tergal apical pale fasciae, and dark clypeus. Females have a simple hind tibial scopal hairs and a simple labral process. The one species of Leucandrena known from Florida has the pale pubescent fasciae of terga 2-4 broadly interrupted and occasionally absent on tergum 4, narrow hyaline terga apices, and the clypeus lacks a median impunctate line. The notable feature of this species is the posterior hind tibial spur is flexed in the outer third (found in both sexes but sometimes more weakly expressed in the male).
