Diagnosis

The labium extends as far as the hind coxae. The anteclypeus is pear-shaped and the lora, which are slightly convex anteriorly, extend anteriorly as far as the margins of the maxillary plates. The maxillary plates are broadly exposed and the maxillary sutures distinct. The frontoclypeus is slightly convex anteriorly and slightly concave posteriorly and there is a low median longitudinal ridge extending from the frons to the vertex. The antennal ledges are almost in alignment with the sides of the postclypeus. The crown is longest in the centre and considerably greater in length than the pronotum and the ocelli, which are on the crown, are white and probably functionless. The tegmen is apically acute and the hind margin is broadly angulate. The hind tibiae are armed with small spines (Evans 1966, as Woodella Evans).
