Diagnosis

Small squat insects in which the head is considerably wider than long and the anteclypeus and lora anteriorly declivous. The antennal ledges are distinct and extend to halfway between the frontoclypeus and the eyes. The crown is visible only as a narrow border against the eyes. The hind tibiae have a large spur on one of the inner edges and two somewhat smaller ones on one of the others (Evans 1966).
