The labium terminates between the bases of the hind coxae. The frontoclypeus is convex. The antennal ledges are distinct and there is a well-defined crown, slightly wider against the eyes than in the centre. The tegmina are apically narrow with a wide appendix which narrowly continues around the apex of the tegmen. The hind tibiae have two spurs and numerous spines. In the male genitalia, the subgenital plates are broad and apically emarginate and the aedeagus is hook-shaped (Evans 1966).
