Description:
As the generic description is already detailed and based on the
type
specimens, only few additional characters are added here.
Head:
Slightly longer than wide across eyes (25/24), genae surpassing clypeus, contiguous in front but leaving a notch between enlarged rounded apices; antennae short, 1.1x as long as width of head (26.7/24) segment I bent outward, thickest and longest, following ones thinner and straight; length of I/II/III/IV = 8.2/5/ 7/6.5; anteriorly diverging antenniferous lobes with rounded apices; postocular lobes granulate and converging toward smooth collar; vertex granulate.

Pronotum:
About 2.7x as wide as long at middle (38/14); granulate ringlike collar produced over rounded anterolateral angles; lateral margins converging anteriorly; surface granulate.
Scutellum:
2.3x as wide at base as long (23/10), lateral and basal margins granulate, median longitudinal rows of granules slightly elevated, smooth laterad; posterior margin widely rounded.
Hemelytra:
Sclerotized wingpads of polygonal shape, as long as scutellum, posterior margin nearly straight, surface granulate.
Abdomen:
Structure and sutures of fused mediotergites I+II as well as of fused mtg III–VI forming the tergal plate and deltg I+II and III–VII as in the generic description.
