The pygidium is always smooth, with some rade points. The species show a moderate sexual dimorphism in the fore tibiae, and the pygidium is larger in males than in females.

The pubescence of the haptomerum is dense. The proplegmatium is subequal along the whole length, with the posterior triangular sclerotization reaching at least as much or more than half the length of the anterior epitorma, which is rectilinear, well sclerotized and thin. The base of the triangular sclerotization reaches the small, thick and upwardturned apophyses. Laeotorma and dexiotorma are symmetrical, short and stout. Pternotormae are well sclerotized, and the crepis is short but evident, with a sharp apex. The plegmatic area is visible.
