By the presence of five strongly curved and carinate dorsal elytral striae and absence of inner subhumeral and sutural striae and presence of peculiar deep longitudinal groove on the metepisternum for the accommodation of mesotarsus, this myrmecophilous Australian genus cannot be confused with any other currently known higher taxon of
