Description.
Head without keels or medial impression; eyes reduced, divided by genae in dorsal and ventral parts, dorsal part longitudinal and composed only by few facets, ventral part nearly invisible and composed only by 2–3 facets; antennomeres completely separated. Pronotum cordiform, with elevated large rounded anterior corners, disc without keels or impressions, lateral margins unbordered in posterior half; prosternal process not protruced backwards. Elytra oval, widest in middle, humeral angles extremely developed, without teeth, rounded and elevated, scutellar area distinctly excavated, elytra without rows of punctures or keels, lateral margins keel-like and elevated in anterior half; epipleura extremely broad in anterior half below large humeral angles, without row of punctures. Ventrites with extremely fine punctures, surface shagreened. Tibiae oval in cross-section, without longitudinal keels or impressions, tarsi of all legs short. Aedeagus (

) with long parallel apicale with rounded apex, basale long, narrow. Female unknown.
Diagnosis.
The eyes are reduced but still divided into dorsal and extremely small ventral part, thus
Bamarosis
gen. nov.
is placed into the subtribe
Dichillina
. The unusual structures of pronotum and elytra are peculiar and so far unknown in all genera of
Stenosini
, see keys to genera of
Stenosini
in
Medvedev (1994b)
and
Aalbu et al. (2017)
