Treatment

The genus can be recognized by the oval body, the impunctate metasternum with its lateral margins thickened, elevated, longitudinally furrowed, or deeply sulcate to form a canal in which the terminal segments of the labium lie; margin of the body from the apex of the head to the base of the hemelytron forming more or less an even, continuous arc ( Ruckes 1966b).
