Diagnosis. Body color light brown ( Figs 54–55 View FIGURES 54 – 59 ). Anterior angles of pronotum each with obtuse projection; each anterolateral margin with three small spines, not evenly distributed; humeral angles quadrate, each with bilobed apex, anterior lobe with 1–2 spines and posterior lobe with a digitoid process; posterior margin weakly concave ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ). Apex of scutellum reaching abdominal segment V. Apex of hemelytral radial vein calloused; corium reaching abdominal segment VI; membrane reaching anterior margin of abdominal segment VII on females ( Fig. 57 View FIGURES 54 – 59 ) and surpassing abdominal apex on males ( Fig. 56 View FIGURES 54 – 59 ). Male genitalia: posterolateral angles obtuse; inferior layer of ventral rim emarginate with one projection medially ( Figs 60–65 View FIGURES 60 – 73 ).
