Femora not clavate, abdoment with sternites very finely, closely punctured and densely clothed in a fine pubescence. Antennae reaching apical 1/3 of elytra with outer segments abruptly abbreviated, last 4 segments at most as long as 2 preceding segments together; pronotum very distinctly wider than long; angulated at sides; posterior tarsi with third segment cleft to middle. Apex distinctly emarginated.
