Scutellum with integument smooth and sparsely covered with setae. Elytra (Fig. 1F) as wide as pronotum; surface finely punctured, densely covered with setae, with 2–3 small macrosetae laterally. Hind wings reduced, about 1/3 as long as elytra. Abdomen oblong, widest around segments VI and VII; surface smooth; tergites II–VII densely covered with setae.

Median lobe of aedeagus as in Figs 4F–G; in lateral view (Fig. 4G) apical lobe bent paramerally, much narrowed subapically, sinuate abparamerally and acutely narrowed apically. Paramere (Fig. 4H) with apical lobe of paramerite narrowed slightly.
