Diagnosis
On the face of the head the labium extends to between the hind coxae, the genae are marginally sinuate and antennal ledges are lacking. The crown of the head, which is wider against the tyes than in the centre, is considerably anteriorly produced and the pronotum is slightly declivous. The hind tibiae have one spur and numerous short hairs but lack additional spines. In the male genitalia, the subgenital plates are approximately parallel-sided and the parameres extend almost as far as the apices of the subgenital plates (Evans 1966).
