Antennae, upper lip, mandible, labial palpi and maxillary palpomeres reddish brown and only a little paler than body. Legs reddish brown, paler on coxae and trochanter. Abdominal sternites reddish brown with the middle of the former two sternites brown (Fig. 12).

Face sparsely punctate and vertex exposed. Anterior margin of pronotum slightly concave mesially, with a small tubercle on each side of the excision; anterior half slightly depressed, the floor with sparse pustules; few punctations on posterior half, with a pair of small tubercles (Fig. 50). Tegmina and wings extending beyond the end of abdomen, sometimes mutilated (Fig. 11). Radial vein of tegmen with 1 forked posterior branch at base, or with 2 simple posterior branches; median vein branched before the midline (Figs 85-86). Radial vein of hind wing simple and branched apically, or with 3 small branches which terminate in the anterior apical angle; median vein branched; cubitus with 5 complete branches, which may be forked or not, and 7-8 incomplete branches (Figs 94-95). Anteroventral margin of front femur armed with 1 spine or unarmed, with or without a minute distal spine, hind margin with a distal spine. Abdominal tergites 1-6 sparsely punctate; T7 denser punctulated caudally, lateral margin weakly crenulate, laterocaudal angle slightly produced (Fig. 52); anterolateral corners with small holes in T6 and T7, some minute and indistinct in T5. Abdominal sternites punctulate, the last sternite densely punctuated and hind margin indented (Fig. 53). Supra-anal plate densely punctate, hind margin varied with 9-13 triangular teeth, border of teeth smooth or crenulate (Figs 55-56). Cercus conical, with few setae near the border dorsally and ventral surface setose (Fig. 55). Anterior margin of subgenital plate slightly concave, lateral margins slightly curved (Fig. 57).

Male genitalia.L1 reduced, only two small lobes remained (Fig. 58); L2d forked apically and apex acute (Fig. 59); R2 hook-shaped, with weak hook portion and the apex not curved upwards (Fig. 60).
