Description. Dorsal area of head, between the eyes, without gibbosities and longitudinal furrow or central depression in “V”, slightly depressed at central region close to clypeus (sometimes, with depression in “V” well marked in females). Ocular carina wide, very low from posterior edge of eyes to clypeus. Eyes ( Fig. 75 View Figure 75-89 ) wide (larger width equal to 0.5 times total length); anterior ocular edge ( Fig. 75 View Figure 75-89 ) clearly emarginated; posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 347, 350 View Figure 347-353 ) barely distinct. Frontoclypeal suture visible only laterally (sometimes suture complete). Central region of clypeus strongly oblique in females (sometimes, not strongly oblique), and oblique in males. Clypeolabral suture distinct throughout. Labrum barely oblique in male and oblique in female; central projection of male, wide or narrow, but always sub-triangular; in female, narrow and slightly rounded at apex. Mandibles of major male ( Fig. 347, 348 View Figure 347-353 ) falciform, sub-falciform in minor male ( Fig. 352 View Figure 347-353 ), longer than head, narrow at base of latero-outer face ( Fig. 75 View Figure 75-89 ); dorsal carina elevated, well marked from base to middle; inner margin with two teeth together protracted, placed before middle of mandible; apical teeth fused or sub-fused in major male and separated in minor male; apex of latero-outer face without small tooth. Mandibles of female ( Fig. 74 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) Parandra -like, moderately wide at base of latero-outer face; dorsal carina elevated from base to middle of mandible; inner margin with two teeth together protracted, placed before middle; apex with two teeth large and distinct; apex of latero-outer face with a very small tooth, sometimes nearly absent. Mentum with long hair, somewhat abundant. Galea ( Fig. 199 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 ) short (not reaching apex of second segment of maxillary palp). Ventral sensorial area of antennae ( Fig. 216 View Figure 210-217. 210-214 ) visible from side, divided by carina, very elevated, visible from side; ventral sensorial area of antennomere XI invading dorsal area; dorsal sensorial area of antennomere XI large, not divided by carina.
Pronotum convex; anterior margin concave; anterior angles projected forward (in general, more visible in females); lateral angle well defined or not; posterior angles defined and distinct. Elytra finely punctate. Veins MP 3 and MP 4 fused at their apex ( Fig. 209 View Figure 200-209. 200-204 ). Apex of prosternal process broadened. Femora pilose (mainly in the ventral face). Dorsal face of tibiae rounded at basal half, and flat on apical half. Anterior coxal cavities open. Paronychium with two setae.
