). These two sclerites are similar between this genus and
Interocular space wider than interocellar space, shorter than the distance between antennal sockets. Antennae longer than the body. Pronotum subelliptical. Tegmina and wings well developed, surpassing the tip of abdomen. Front femur of type A2; pulvilli present on 1-4 or 2-4 tarsal segments, claws symmetrical and unspecialized, arolium slightly smaller than other genera. The posterior-lateral angles of metanotum without or with small projections. First tergite of male abdomen with visible gland. Posterolateral corners of abdominal tergites V-VII not produced. The hind margin of supra-anal plate slightly concave. L1 of genitalia weakly sclerotized with pubescence; L3 unciform and the distal part bifurcated; L4C thin ribbon-like, with densely spiny process near basal inner margin. The basal part of R1H flat, inner margin with one or two small spines; the distal part of R1G with a curved spine inward.
Tegmina and wings reduced. Tegmina squamiform, only reaching the first tergite of abdmen; lateral margins of tegmina beveled, the outer corner rounded. Hind wings small and lobe-like. Pulvilli present on 1-4 or 2-4 tarsal segments, claws symmetrical and unspecialized, arolium small. Spermatheca with two branches, the leading duct short, the branching duct relatively long, and the end capsule rod-shaped.
