Antenna of both sexes, exceeding hind angles of pronotum, compressed, and serrate from 3rd to 10th antennomeres. Pronotum narrowed anteriorly, both sides distinctly sinuate, strongly flanged laterally, weakly convex medio-longitudinally; hind angles divergent, acute, apex recurved. Suture between meso- and metaventrite weak. Elytra attenuate, apically with a spine, surface almost smooth, with slightly irregular furrows posteriorly. Penis narrowed to apex, parameres with hook-like angles apically.
