All ten species are comparably large leafhoppers with a size between 12.4 and 16.8 millimeters.[1][2] The pronotum of Onega is typically wider than the head and the scutellum is swollen.[1]

Onega occurs in the Andean rainforests of Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Bolivia.[1] Old records of Onega from the Caribbean islands are now believed to have been mislabelled.[1]
