Diagnosis

Voisin de Pyrrhoneura, mais le front est continué presque rectangulaire au vertex pendant presque deux fois la longueur de ce dernier, alors il se courbe pour rejoindre le clypeus sous un angle aigu, une partie du front étant visible dorsalement. Bords latéraux du vertex arrondis convergents, largement réfléchis et fortement sensorisés. Veine souscostale de l'élytre sensorisée (Kirkaldy 1907)

Vertex and face in profile forming an angle of about 90º and the face strongly curved, especially so on the apical portion (Muir 1918, as subgenus)
