Pronotum sub-cylindrical, disc crossed by transverse sulci 2-4, sometimes ( A. lemarineli ) weakly depressed just behind transverse sulcus 4; median carinula weak to fairly distinct; metazona much shorter than prozona. Anterior and posterior margins of pronotum straight or weakly convex, often slightly emarginate in midline. Prosternal tubercle subconical, antero-posteriorly compressed, tilting somewhat backwards. Tegmina lateral, strap-like, partially covering tympanum. Tympanum present. Legs slender; external apical spine of hind tibiae absent; arolium enlarged. Medial carina well marked in proximal 7 abdominal segments, obsolete distally. Male supra-anal plate elongate, angular. Cercus simple, acutely pointed. Subgenital plate short, subconical.
