Etymology. From the Greek άλλος / allos (different, other) and Tigrinestola , meaning different from it.
Diagnosis. The combination of antennae distinctly not reaching elytral apex in both sexes, mesosternal process without tubercle, and absence of central depression on distal region of abdominal ventrite V in female distinguish this genus.
Description. Body elongate, moderate size. Head hypognathous; frons transverse. Lower eye lobes distinctly longer than gena; upper eye lobes wide apart; antennae in male reaching, at most, the distal quarter of elytra; antennae in female not reaching distal third of elytra; antennomeres filiform; antennomeres gradually decreasing in length from III to XI. Prothorax in male about as long as wide (excluding lateral tubercles); in females slightly wider than long. Sides with large, spiniform tubercle placed at about midlength. Pronotal disc without tubercles. Mesosternal process without tubercle. Elytra subparallel-sided at basal 2/3; apex rounded at outer angle; surface without erect setae. Legs moderately short; femora subfusiform; mesotibiae notched dorsally; metatarsomere V about as long as I–III together.
