Antenna with distinct club composed of antennomeres IXXI; hypostomal ridges short, strongly bent mesally and running nearly parallel to posterior margins of cardines; pronotum with faint antebasal impression and one pair of barely discernible lateral pits, lacking sublateral carinae; hypomeral ridges complete; prosternum lacking prosternal process or carina; mesoventral intercoxal process keel-like, anteriorly connected with 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 rudimentary basal foveae; aedeagus with free parameres.
