Prothorax constricted anteriorly, globose, widest at about middle; punctures sparse, small and shallow on disc, larger, deeper but separate on flanks, not forming striolae; erect setae absent. Elytra in dorsal view widest at about midlength, lateral margins subparallel anteriorly and posteriorly; humeri present, strongly angulate; erect setae absent. Strial punctures evident, very small, shallow; striae not impressed throughout length. Membranous wings present. Abdominal ventrite 1 of male slightly raised in middle near posterior margin with small transverse patch of setosity at tip; of female, uniformly convex in middle near posterior margin. Ventrite 5 of male concave medially towards apex, impression finely setose; of female, uniformly convex, not setose. Legs with front femora with ventral margin with small, blunt tooth, tooth absent (or nearly) on middle and hind femora; tarsal claws lacking basal tooth. Aedeagus (fig. 71) widest towards apex, internal sac with pair of short basal sclerites subparallel but widened and conjoined anteriorly, each with fine wavy tail-like basal extension.
