Introduction

This genus is unknown to the compiler. It is close to Colgaroides Distant but can be differentiated most readily by the five frontal carinae meeting at the apex of the head whereas in Colgaroides only three meet at the apex, the outer pair reaching the margin of the vertex more laterally.

Head bluntly pointed. Frons with five carinae joined at apex, median pair half as long as outer pair, lateral carinae evanescent, barely seen; frons margins flared out between eye margin and clypeal suture; intergenal transverse carina weakly residual along lateral margins of acutely projecting vertex, connecting with frontal carinae at apex; strong dorsal median longitudinal carina across vertex, pro- and mesonotum; pronotum postocular eminence ridgelike. Tegmen pustulate; apical margin oblique; two longitudinal veins (R+S, M) arising from basal stem; Cu cell slightly widened medially, Cu-M oblique vein strong; anal veins in clavus ending in short Y-stem.
