Prosternum clothed with very short inconspicuous semi­decumbent sericeous hairs, each puncture bearing such a hair. Antennae with longer forward­directed pale hairs less than width of antennal segments. Relatively short, thick trichobothriumlike (

is one of a remarkable species complex restricted to southern Africa which consists of at least 15 additional new species, most of which are in arid areas or arid microhabitats.

Astonishingly, what appeared to be sibling species differed remarkably not only in their genitalia, but also in the presence or absence of dorsal abdominal scent glands, a character more usually associated with family or subfamily taxa, not species taxa, which may indicate the antiquity of the genus
