The character states of the large, stylate eyes that partly cover the collar in lateral view, the short labrum, the long labium extending at least to metacoxae, the slightly narrowing antennal segment I on the distal half and wider than antennal segment II, the collar being wider than antennal segment I, the posterior pronotal lobe evenly punctate with its posterior margin straight, and the embolium being flat, bent upwards from its anterior end to less than a half its length, combined with characters of the male genitalia, including the presence of sclerotizations in the dorsal wall of the genital capsule, the processes on the subgenital plate embedding the parameres, and the triangular left paramere with a well-developed apical process, allow the recognition of this genus from the four genera omitted in Carvalho and
