Diagnosis
The labium terminates between the fore coxae; the anteclypeus slopes steeply anteriorly; the frontoclypeus is convex anteriorly and somewhat flattened posteriorly. The eyes are prominent and the pronotum declivous. The crown of the head is widest against the eyes. The tegmina are apically rounded with a well developed appendix and the hind tibiae have one spur and a few weak spines. In the male genitalia, the subgenital plates are narrow, apically acute and spinous and the parameres, which are sword-shaped, are slightly more than half the length of the subgenital plates. The aedeagus has a pair of strong posterior dorsal spines and a pair of small lateral ones. (Evans 1966).
