DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by moderately to very strongly projecting face, relatively large size of most known taxa, and frequent occurrence of erect, black, spinelike setae on anterior lobe of pronotum; coloration variable, ranging from almost completely dark to large ly pale with some red markings (pl. 26); endosoma relatively short and stout, weakly sigmoid to C-shaped, with apical spine originating from ventral strap, either bifid or hooked (pl. 27).
