Lower eye lobes distinctly longer than gena; upper eye lobes wide apart; antennae in male reaching, at most, the distal quarter of elytra; antennae in female not reaching distal third of elytra; antennomeres filiform; antennomeres gradually decreasing in length from III to XI. Prothorax in male about as long as wide (excluding lateral tubercles); in females slightly wider than long. Sides with large, spiniform tubercle placed at about midlength. Pronotal disc without tubercles. Mesosternal process without tubercle. Elytra subparallel-sided at basal 2/3; apex rounded at outer angle; surface without erect setae. Legs moderately short; femora subfusiform; mesotibiae notched dorsally; metatarsomere V about as long as I–III together.
