Antenna shorter than head and thorax together, weakly compressed, strongly tapering toward apex, with 15 - 19 antennomeres, third antennomere shorter than 4 th and 5 th antennomeres together, each antennomere not broader than long. Anterior margin of pronotum deeply and broadly emarginated, middle part of pronotum very narrow; length of propleura in ventral view about 1.5 times as long as broad; mesoscutellum without tubercle, CD = 3.2 - 3.5; inner tibial spur of front leg bifurcate at apex, outer tibial spur minute; hind femur about 3.5 - 4 times longer than broad; apical tarsomeres not strongly enlarged; tarsal claws small, inner tooth of fore and middle claws slightly shorter than half length of outer tooth, hind claw with a very small inner tooth.
