Tegmina vary in length from almost reaching supra-anal plate, to barely reaching posterior edge of fifth abdominal tergite; costal field surpassing middle of anterior border of tegmen. Hind femora relatively heavy. General coloration in shades of dark and lighter brown, with a contrasting black and creamy lateral stripe extending obliquely from base of antenna, across gena and lower part of lateral pronotal lobe. Dorsum of pronotum uniform brown, of light brown with medial carina narrowly edged with dark brown. Tegmina uniform brown.
