Elytra as long as pronotum or slightly shorter. Female tergite IX with apical lobes of paraprocts longer than continuous anterior portion in dorsal view; sternite VIII with truncate apex. Ventral process of the aedeagus strongly deflexed, distal tip lying beyond median foreman in lateral view (Fig. 45C ).
