Mandibular apical teeth number: two, horizontally situated. Mola absent. Penicillus (at base) present (fine, often membranous). Pubescence above mola or cutting edge absent. Ventral furrow absent. Basal notch shallow or absent. Labrum-Cranium not fused. Epipharyngial sclerite absent. Lateral tormal process: projection projection not developed (all remaining). Ligula: ciliate setae absent.

Parasternites number along ventrites III–VII: one. Spiculum gastrale absent. Tegmen composed of three parts. Coxitae undivided.
Biology
Predatory. Adults run rapidly on logs and branches of fallen trees, hunting for prey. If disturbed, they fly very quickly. Some beetle collectors remark (P. Pacholátko, pers. comm.; experience from southern India) that some species can even jump(!) before they fly off.
Distribution
South-eastern Asia including Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam (numerous modern unpublished records). Often recorded together with species of Xenoglena.
