Head generally much narrower than the pronotum. Pronotum rather broad, usually strongly curved at the sides, with or without a circular post median impression; hind angles clearly toothed. Basal segment of the tarsi (especially the hind) strongly produced ventrally so that its apex almost reaches the apex of the second segment; second tarsomere reduced, arising dorsally from the basal segment nearly at the middle. Male: front tibia with a tooth situated at or a little in front of the middle; aedeagus strongly sclerotized, asymmetrical, the ostium ventral and covered with a plate which is usually strongly projecting apically.
