Body elongate; in dorsal aspect with marked constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally with indistinct constriction. Rostrum with median carina terminating on forehead; with pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows each with sparse row of erect, piliform scales; epistome medially with transverse ridge, without denticle. Pronotum anterolaterally subangularly projecting; without distinct subapical constriction; disk coarsely rugose-punctate; each puncture containing suberect piliform scale; with median ridge. Elytra with striae deeply impressed; each with row of suberect piliform scales; intervals weakly carinate; costa of interval 2 shortened at base; interval 7 swollen subapically, laterally weakly projecting; apex extended ventrad, beak-shaped. Meso- and metafemur with crenulate anteroventral ridge terminating with blunt tooth. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch and transverse row of denticles. Abdominal ventrite 5 almost flat, subapically with shallow pit. Penis (Fig. 81b) with body in profile moderately curved ventrad; in dorsal aspect sides subparallel in basal half, anteriorly gently diverging; apex subangulate, without median extension; apodemes 2.0 × as long as body; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus.
