Antenna somewhat stout, shorter than body length, basal antennomeres fringed beneath; scape shorter than third antennomere, third slightly longer (male) or distinctly longer (female) than fourth, fourth longer than scape, fifth to last successively shorter. Head not quite as broad as prothorax, with coronal suture extending from epistoma to occiput. Prothorax broader than long, frontal half wider than basal half; blunt, nodose in middle of each side. Scutellum broad, width more than twice the length. Elytra subparallel, broadly rounded apically. Legs stout, mesotibiae with lots of hairs externally, metafemur reaching third abdominal segment. Procoxal cavities narrowly open posteriorly. Claws simple. Male genitalia: lateral lobes short, length less than 4 times of width; tegmen shorter than the whole median lobe; median struts about half of the whole median lobe; internal sac short, less than twice of median lobe, with more than 3 rods; rods shorter than tegmen.

Diagnosis. Differs from Cagosima Thomson by the pronotum having blunt nodose in the middle of each side, frontal half wider than basal half, by having hind femur reaching third instead of fourth abdominal segment.
