Head small, mouth parts small, only slightly visible, partly retracted into head; frontoclypeal portion of head rathed reduced, clypeus very short, widely transverse, with straight anterior margin; frons strongly convex; vertex about twice as wide as width of eye; eyes rather large, elliptical, not projecting beyond outline of head; antennae very short, reaching anterior third of pronotal margins when laid alongside; antennomeres 4–11 obtusely triangular to trapezoidal, wider than long. Pronotum strongly convex, lateral margins without lateral carina; lateroposterior depressions almost indistinct, “agriloid” carina very short, flat; prosternum with very narrow, transverse groove just behind anterior margin; prosternal proceess flat, short, nearly triangular, not widened behind procoxae. Scutellum small, longer than wide. Elytra moderately convex, with small humeral swellings; basal transverse depression wide, nearly reaching scutellum; elytral apices separately, widely rounded, with very fine apical serrations; posthumeral carina short, flat, weakly defined, reaching only level of metacoxae; elytral epipleura very narrow, scarcely visible, reaching posterior fourth of elytra. Anal ventrite wider than long, slightly truncate apically, with very fine, lateral serrations; legs simple, male metatibiae not modified; tarsal claws thin, simple, as long as half of terminal tarsomere; aedeagus (Fig. 30) very short, widely spindle-shaped, with the maximum width at the posterior third of the parameres, which are sharply pointed; medial lobe wide, pointed apically, without lateral serrations.
