Prosternal process broadly carinate, with a needle or thorn-like apical projection. Prosternum and head separated by a shallow step, therefore gula and medial line of prosternum apparently on the same level. Metacoxal process with hind lobes straight or slightly rounded, often separated by a more or less deep V-shaped notch. Elytra apically oval or truncate; narrowly bordered laterally. Epipleuron in both sexes broad, up to caudal margin of sternite 6 or 7, not enlarged apically. MR of dorsal and ventral side usually of polygonal meshes, their orientation often slightly to distinctly horizontal, especially so on elytra and metacoxae.
