Small, very slender species, 2.0 to 5.0 mm long and at least four times as long as wide. Head rather prominent, wider than anterior part of pronotum, but not projecting far in front of eyes, frons nearly flat and vertical in both sexes. Eyes usually subcircular, prominent. Antenna similar in both sexes, scape short and stout, little longer than wide, funicle 4-segmented, club pubescent to base. Labial palps 3-segmented. Pronotum much longer than wide, lacking mycangial pores in both sexes, the femoral grooves more strongly angulate at their anterior end. Elytra longitudinally horizontal in both sexes, very finely sculptured, seriate punctate, declivity very short, vertical. Metaventrite-metanepisternum depression armed on anterior margin in the male by one or two small spines or tubercles, or a low carina on the metanepisternum. In the females, the tubercle or carina is reduced or absent. Abdomen obliquely raised towards apex, the male often with processes or spines on one or more ventrites. Anterior face of protibia with transverse rugae in both sexes.

states that the abdomen is 'without abnormal modification of any of the sternites'. He may have been misled by Schedl's species descriptions, which lack any mention of the processes and spines which are often present on one or more of the first to fourth abdominal ventrites of the male. These form very useful recognition characters at specific level, and have been used extensively in the key to males (see below). Browne's (1962) suggestion that a uniform covering of moderately strong bristles, and an absence of finer hairs on the antennal club may be characteristic of the genus, is not borne out by examination of further species. Both males and females lack mycangial pores on the pronotum. Species in which the females were described with numerous pronotal pores do not belong in the genus (see below).

, as in all platypodine genera. The dimorphism is most readily evident in the stronger sculpture of the elytral apex of the male. The lateral margins close to the male elytral apex are usually serrate, and there is a definite rim above the declivity. One or more of the ventrites in the male may be thickened or armed with processes or spines. These do not occur in the female. The last abdominal ventrite of the male is concave, but in the female convex. The spine or costa on the metanepisternum is weakly developed or absent in the female. The antennal club and eye may be slightly larger in the female than in the male.
