Diagnosis. Head pentagonal with vertex conspicuously declivent; integument of vertex corrugate. Compound eyes reniform, moderately stylate; eye stalks slightly erect. Pronotum campanulate with anterior margin conspicuously convex; pronotal callosities furrow-like. Scutellum subequilaterally triangular with elevated trifurcate carina. Hemelytron macropterous, membrane surpassing apex of abdomen with about third of length. Margins of clavus subparallel; claval commissure minute, but distinct. Length of claval commissure is approximately one-third of length of scutellum. Corium completely punctate along Cu and with characteristic arched line of punctures in R-M region. Prosternum with elevated, punctate collar. Metapleurite divided in to two lobes by metepimeral pseudosuture, posterior lobe narrow. Peritreme rather bulbous without supportive process, dorsal flange moderately bulging; evaporatorium reduced to immediate surroundings of peritreme. Tarsal claws slender, evenly curved; unguitractor plate with fleshy, discoidal parempodia. Sutures of abdominal tergites IV/V and V/VI evenly and equally curved posteriad medially. Abdominal sternites I–III unseparated. Abdominal trichobothria on sternites III and IV with simple bothrium bearing a single sensilla, situated submedially appearing to be fused in triangular form; trichobothria on sternites V–VII subdorsal, appearing to be fused except on sternite VI where two clearly separated bothria occur. Male pygophore with dorsal opening rounded, lateral processes sharply pointed, apex of lateral process hooked. Parameres with blade long and slender, conspicuously curved; crossing each other in slightly bent X-shape in situ. Female ovipositor short, bisecting only sternite VII.
