Type species.

Unkana sapporona Matsumura, 1935: 131, by original designation.

Diagnosis.

Relatively slender, head slightly narrower than pronotum. Vertex longer than broad, its width at base not exceeding width of an eye, shallowly rounded at apical margin; carinae of vertex and frons distinct. Frons parallel-sided, about 2.0-2.5 times as long as wide, lateral margins parallel, narrowing upwards in apical 1/3; median carina of frons bifurcates near fastigium. Lateral carinae of pronotum diverging, vanishing before reaching posterior margin. Calcar with 10-20 well-developed teeth; apical tooth separate from the remaining teeth. Posterior margin of pygofer with a cut on the sides. Segment X (anal tube) with a pair of teeth or teeth absent. Styli flattened, diverging or more or less parallel beyond middle, with complex apices, zigzag-shaped bent and wide or narrowed and slanting outwards. Armature of diaphragm (bridge of pygofer) bearing a pair of teeth directed upwards or a projection with 2 apices. Aedeagus more or less straight, or bent ventrad, elbow-shaped, slightly asymmetrical due to location of gonopore and arrangement of teeth on aedeagal shaft (after Fennah 1956 and Anufriev and Emeljanov 1988).
