Diagnosis
Closely allied to Stenocranus Fieb., but differs from the latter as follows: Vertex nearly so long as the breadth, seen from side somewhat protruded just as the lateral vertical keel; forked keel at the transit to the vertex very narrow, extending to the middle of eye; frons 2 ½ times so long as the breadth between the eyes; pronotum with the lateral keels nearly touching the hind margin; scutellum somewhat longer than the pronotum and vertex taken together; 1st antennal joint somewhat shorter than the 2nd; longitudinal veins strongly granulated; basal joint of the hind tarsus distinctly longer than the following joint taken together (Matsumura 1935).
