N o t e. I did not examine the type, but the taxon is easily recognised trhough the original description because of the peculiar inwardly apical supplementary tooth on the mandible, unique in the subtribe. Moreover it has reduced length of the wing and more elongated pronotum. The association of sexes was previously performed by J. Guillarmod in labelling specimens at SAM. The male resembles lighter specimens of semirufa in coloration and differs mainly in having a strongly concave pronotal plate and the aedeagus with a long ventral process.
