Head usually as wide as the pronotum; crown usually as broad as long; face elongate with a. single median carina forked at the apex of the head. Intermediate carinae of the pronotum curved, not reaching hind margin; tibial spurs thin with teeth on the hind margin; male pygofer usually short and simple; genital styles flat, usually simple; inner apical angles produced; anal segment short; anal spines small or reduced.
