Fig. 7A
); parameres without laterovental contraction at apical half (
Fig. 9A
)...............................
2
-
Pronotal tubercle strong, horn shaped, acute on apex (
Fig. 4A
); mesofemora completely setose (
Fig. 4B
); tergite VII with 1 band of well-marked carinae (
Fig. 7C
); parameres with lateroventral contraction at apical half in lateral view (
Fig.9D
)................................................................................

).........
3
-
Pronotum moderately convex (
Fig. 5B
), or with a horn (
