can be distinguished by its frons being half the length of the vertex rather than being about the length of the vertex, the lateral pronotal margins are adpressed so they are not visible from the dorsal side rather than being visible from the dorsal side, the radial and radiomedial crossveins are parallel, the mediocubital crossvein is perpendicular to cubitus anterior 2 rather than obliquely oriented, the presence of two rather than three spines on the fore femora, the opercula with a smoothly rounded lateral and posterior margin rather than a roughly triangular operculum, and lateral margins of anterior abdominal segments parallel lacking of lateral expansion of the fourth abdominal segment.
