Sexual dimorphism moderate. Head conspicuously enlarged, notably broader and longer than prothorax and flattened dorsoventrally, vertex smooth and with a distinct longitudinal postocular furrow laterally (LCF); genae strongly enlarged (Fig 4 A-J). Eyes more or less decidedly displaced towards the dorsal surface of the head (Fig. 4 A-J). No ocelli. Gula large and covering> ½ of cervical region (Fig. 5 A-B). Lacinia usually with three terminal teeth. Antennae moderately slim to robust and often perlamorph, distinctly segmented and at best equal in length to profemora (much shorter than profemora in ♀♀); consisting of less than 30 segments. Two basal antennomeres flattened dorsoventrally, the scapus moderately broadened. Pronotum with well developed, often very prominent defensive glands at anterolateral corners; these lateral directed (Figs. 4 A-J). Mesothorax> 2 x longer than prothorax; parallel-sided and more or less decidedly compressed dorsoventrally; mesonotum usually more or less flattened, mostly smooth to sparsely granulose (Fig. 4 G) but may be tuberculose (Fig. 4 A) to spinulose in certain taxa (Fig. 4 C), with a fine medio-longitudinal carina. Tegmina flat and spatulate; in winged taxa notably shorter than alae. Anal fan of alae transparent, plain grey, pink or orange; only in one known case with a darker outer margin. Median segment longer than metanotum. Abdomen excluding median segment considerably longer than head and complete thorax combined. Abdominal segments II-VI longer than wide. No praeopercular organ on abdominal sternum VII of ♀♀ (Fig .. 8 E). Terminalia of ♂♂ (Figs. 6, 7): Anal segment tectiform and split longitudinally to form two movable hemi-tergites that are dorsally connected by a narrow fissure (FI, Figs. 7 B, E, G-J); interior surface of hemi-tergites with various specializations, either with paired medio-ventral directed thorn-pads (Fig. 6 C), or with often asymmetrical rows of teeth or dentate ridges that are directed medially against each other (Figs. 6 A, 6 B, 7 B, 7 E). No vomer (Figs. 6 A, C). Paraprocts variable. Poculum (= subgenital plate) small, rather flat to moderately convex and scoop-shaped (Figs. 7 A, C, D, F). Terminalia of ♀♀ (Fig. 8): Subgenital plate at best slightly projecting beyond but mostly not reaching to apex of abdomen, obtusely convex to moderately keeled longitudinally; often with a knob-, wart-, or transversely ridge-like basal swelling (here referred to as “ opercular organ ”, Figs. 8 A-E). Gonapophysis VIII more or less equal in length to gonapophysis IX, gonoplac variable in size, sometimes notably enlarged (Fig. 8 A) and occasionally fused with gonapophysis IX; all hidden within subgenital plate and not reaching to apex of abdomen. Gonangulum present but small. Cerci in both sexes compressed laterally, more or less enlarged and elongated, foliaceous or lanceolate in shape (Figs. 6 - 8). All femora and tibiae trapezoidal in crosssection; tibiae usually less decidedly carinate. Tibiae without an area apicalis. Profemora somewhat constricted and strongly curved in basal portion (Figs. 4 A-E); dorsal carinae very slightly nearing, the posterodorsal carina at best very slightly raised sub-basally and occasionally minutely denticulate. Medioventral carina of all femora midways on ventral surface and often set with a variable number of small spines or teeth. Extrimities otherwise unarmed. Basitarsi slender, not lobed dorsally	female	4														https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2570264FB334FFB198BCF904FC8BFE64#1DB19D04B335FFBD995AFED7FF15FA42				MaterialCitation
