Generic diagnosis. Body small. Fastigium verticis conical, apex rounded. Apical segment of maxillary palpus slightly longer than subapical one, apex swollen, truncate. Pronotum slightly elongate; lateral lobe longer than deep, posterior margin oblique, humeral sinus absent. Tegmina short, surpassing posterior margin of pronotum. Fore tibial tympana open on both sides.
