Diagnosis

The head is evenly rounded, the antennal ledges are prominent, the hind margin of the frons is distinct and the ocelli are on the ventral surface of the head. The crown is visible narrowly from above, being widest against the eyes, and the head, including the eyes, is narrower than the pronotum at the base. The lateral margins of the pronotum are narrow in comparison with species in related genera but sufficiently wide to separate the bases of the tegmina from the eyes and the propleurae are visible as lateral prolongations of the pronotum. The tegmina overlap very considerably so that when the tegmina are closed, the distal parts of the anal borders lie at an acute angle to the proximal conjoined borders. The appendix is wide, and there is a supplementary appendix. (Evans 1936).
