Anterolateral angles of pronotum extremely wide, projecting laterally, triangular, bearing a setiferous pore with a long seta. Posterolateral angles of pronotum small, sharp. Pronotal base straight, with a sharp edge. Procoxal cavities widely open posteriorly. Scutellum rounded-triangular. Elytra convex, punctate; punctures arranged in regular rows. Basal elytral margin widely rounded, elytral apices narrowed posteriorly. Lateral sides of elytra slightly produced laterally, lateral elytral margin and pleura not visible from dorsal view. Epipleura wide in basal parts, strongly narrowing towards apex. Humeral calli and wings absent. Metaventrite with a short, wide process extending about half of the space between the mesocoxae, not covering mesoventrite. Legs brown. Protibiae widened towards apex and slightly curved laterally. Metatibiae slightly widened apically, not bearing any distinct apical spine. Pro- and mesotarsi elongated; protarsi as long as a quarter of the protibiae, mesotarsi nearly as long as two-thirds of the mesotibiae. Metatarsomere 1 elongated, as long as metatarsomeres 2 and 3 combined.
