Type species: Morimotanthribus chinensis Senoh & Trýzna, 2006

Diagnosis. Body elongate, medium-sized (6.2–10.7 mm) ( Figs. 1–4 ). Head elongate, eyes lateral, hemispherical, not emarginate. Rostrum comparatively long, gradually narrowed to antennal scrobes, then widened anteriorly, lateral margins strongly sinuate at antennal scrobes, forming a more or less top-shaped pattern ( Figs. 10, 14 ). Antennal scrobes large, open, visible from dorsal view, reaching base of mandibles anteriorly. Segments of funicle distinctly thick; antennomere IX trapezoidal, X slightly transverse, XI triangular. Antennae slightly exceeding base of elytra in both sexes. Pronotum conspicuously narrower than elytra, slightly transverse, distinctly narrower than elytral base. Dorsal transverse carina almost straight or slightly convex, only shortly interrupted in middle, roundly connected with lateral carina, formed in wide arch. Lateral carina reaching to three-quarters of pronotum length. Elytra parallel-sided, narrowed posteriorly in last quarter, basal margin almost straight.
