Eyes oval, vertical diameter 1.4 times horizontal diameter and 1.1 times length of subocular furrow. Pronotum median keel visible, distinctly cut by hind transverse sulcus, lateral keels almost parallel, prozona 1.5 times of metazona in length. Tegmina longer, not reaching the hind margin of third abdominal tergite, length 4.0 times maximum width. Interspace of mesosternum distinctly narrowed in the middle, length 1.9 times minimum width.
