Treatment

The genus can be recognized by having the body elongated, typically reddish brown with pale yellowish green areas; the head, although relatively flat dorsally and subtriangular, does not have the apices of the mandibular plates acute or spinose, but are narrowly rounded; and the humeral angles are projected with acute spines laterally directed ( Kment et al. 2018).
