Body medium sized (length 2.3-3.0 mm), elongate. Dorsal vestiture consisting of small scales, rather or hardly imbricated, pale umber, mostly unicoloured, sometimes in small paler groups along odd interstriae, with or without shiny reflections, and of somewhat short setae, recumbent or subrecumbent on dorsum and elytral sides. Rostrum transverse, pterygia moderately developed, clypeus slightly curved, not or just grooved; frons transverse, somewhat depressed or foveolate. Eyes oval, convex. Antennae quite robust, with scape slightly wider at base than at apex; funicle less robust than scape, with first article longer than subsequent two articles taken together, second article shorter than subsequent two articles taken together, articles 36 transverse, similar in length; seventh article a little narrower; club thick, drop-shaped, with first article widely flared. Pronotum more (females) or less (males) transverse, with sides angulately rounded, at base as wide as at apex, on dorsum with double punctuation, with broad punctures somewhat close each other. Elytra elongate, with parallel or very weakly rounded sides, punctures of striae rather close, interstriae almost flat. Legs fairly slender; protibiae almost straight, curved inwards at apex. Penis in lateral view curved towards apex (fig. 1), in dorsal view with a scutiform profile at apex (fig. 2); internal sac without additional spicules. Spiculum ventrale with elongate manubrium. Spermatheca with cornu and ramus quite well developed (fig. 3). Coxites of ovipositor strongly narrowed, but not tapered, in preapical region; here strongly sclerotized, fairly sinuous, and converging at apex (fig. 4).
