The new genus is established on the following set of characters. Body roundish, clearly convex, glabrous (Fig. 1A). Frons and vertex smooth; frontal tubercles absent; frontal grooves distinctly impressed, extending from upper ocular margin to antennal socket on each side; genae moderately elongate; maxillary palpi four-segmented, thickset; labial palpi three-segmented (Fig. 2A, C). Antennae slightly shorter than half the body length (Fig. 1A); antennomeres 1-2 distinctly larger than the rest; antennomere 7 distinctly larger than adjacent antennomeres (Fig. 2A). Pronotum sub-trapezoidal, slightly wider posteriorly, distinctly transverse, and distinctly rounded laterally, as wide as elytral base basally; anterior and basal margin not bordered; basal margin distinctly sinuous; lateral margin moderately expanded; anterior angles distinct and prominent, obliquely bevelled; posterior angles with a slightly prominent setigerous pore; punctation clearly impressed (Fig. 2B). Scutellum slightly elongate, roundish apically (Fig. 2B). Elytra indistinctly elongate, entirely covering pygidium, strongly arcuate laterally, jointly rounded apically; lateral margin moderately expanded up to sub-apical part of elytra, slightly visible in dorsal view; punctation arranged in 9 (+ 1 scutellar) regular rows, distinctly impressed but becoming shallower towards the elytral apex; humeral callus distinctly prominent; elytral epipleurae horizontally orientated, slightly visible laterally up to apical fourth of elytra (Figs 1A, 2D). Macropterous metathoracic wings. Hind femora clearly swollen; tibiae straight, not channeled, external margin not dentate; apical spur only present on hind tibiae, simple, and moderately elongate; third tarsomere of all legs about as narrow as second; ungual tarsomere of all legs slightly enlarged; and tarsal claws sub-appendiculate (Figs 2D, 3A). Prosternum clearly narrower anteriorly than intercoxal prothoracic process; and procoxal cavities open (Fig. 2C). Metafemoral extensor tendon with extended arm of dorsal lobe moderately elongate and slightly depressed; basal angle of ventral lobe acute; dorsal margin of ventral lobe straight, distinctly oblique; recurved flange distinctly sclerotized; dorsal-basal angle of the tendon almost right angled; ventral-basal angle of tendon widely obtuse; basal edge of tendon slightly curved (Fig. 3B).
