-like, i.e., the head with long tempora, pronotum subtrapezoidal, broadest near base and strongly narrowing anteriorly, and oval elytra, but the sides of pronotum strongly rounded; head and pronotum with thick bristles. Antenna with distinct club composed of antennomeres IXXI; hypostomal ridges extending to the level of posterior tentorial pits, but their ends located laterally in relation to pits; mouthparts with rounded lateral lobes flanking prementum, which are presumably associated with hypopharynx; pronotum with one pair of small lateral pits, lacking sublateral carinae; hypomeral ridges incomplete, obliterated anteriorly and posteriorly; prosternum with rudimentary prosternal carina; mesoventral intercoxal process carinate, T-shaped in cross-section, broad and strongly elevated, broadening posteriorly, anteriorly not connected to anterior ridge of mesoventrite; metaventral intercoxal process narrowly separating metacoxae, with a pair of posteriorly directed, pointed spines adjacent at middle; each elytron with two distinct but small and setose basal foveae; aedeagus with free parameres.
