Diagnosis
On the face of the head, the labium extends as far as the base of the hind coxae. The postclypeus in the female is swollen with faint lateral striations and in the male is narrowly convex, the anterior half smooth and equal in length to the anteclypeus, the posterior half with deep lateral striations. The crown is entirely rounded with an apical depression anterior to the frons. The frons and dorsal surfaces of the antennal ledges are depressed below the level of the vertex. The ocelli are closely adjacent and a median longitudinal ridge is lacking. In the tegmina there is an inflated circular boss between R and M and M and Cu1 are fused for the length of 1 mm, but are basally separate. The venation is simple, not reticulate, and there are sometimes 4 or 5 oblique veinlets between R1 and the costal margin. The hind tibiae have a single spur. (Evans 1966)
