a combination of characters is needed
Bill - several glossosomatid genera lack a hind wing discoidal cell. The combination of 2-4-4 spur count AND the lack of hindwing discoidal cell is diagnostic for Agapetus.

 
Sorry that I didn't provide complete info
Thanks for the reminder, Dave. Yep, and this one had a 2-4-4 spur count as well.
