Pubescence on body varies, but usually sparse and short. Surface of pronotum either relatively smooth or has four shallow, oval impressions around tha basal half of the midline. Elytra parallel-sided, temples usually distinct, abdomen broadest at (or around) the 6th segment. The difference between sexes in the formation of Sternum VIII is often very small, sexes are hard to recognize (males usually have broader tip of terminalia). - Head. Clypeus [1] well developed, epistomal sulcus [2] present. Eyes [3] not extending to the ventral portion of the head. Gular sulci [4] confluent at least anteriorly. Head [5] without dorsal midline keel. The mola [6] on the mandibles separated, well developed. Labrum [7] divided, transverse [8]. Setation behind front of labrum [9] in middle much smaller, irregular or missing. Dorsal seta [10] on epipharynx absent. Hypopharynx [11] undivided, without coriaceous field [12] on ventral side. Lateral row of bulbous setae [13] absent. Front of hypopharynx [14] entirely or not entirely covered with setae, no setae [15] on mid-line. Median sclerotized plate of hologlossa [16] anteriorly enlarged into a plate with central stick either or not continuing till end. Last palpomere of maxillary palp [17] bulbous, but strongly desclerotized basally, digitiform sensillae [18] present on last palpomere, arranged [19] in parallel fashion. Labial palp [20] not hairy. Antennae [21] straight and [22] moderately elongated. -Thorax. Prosternai process [23] pointed, scutellum [24] without pubescence, hypomera [25] not exposing protrochantins. - Legs. Tibia [26] with or without mid-tibial spur(s) but [27] without spines or rows of stiff setae. Tarsal segmentation [28] 3-3-3 with no pseudosegment [29] and basal articles [30] compressed. Ventral setae [31] modified to form tarsal lobes, last tarsomere [32] only with sparse setae. - Elytra. Elytra [33] without puncture-rows, elytral suture [34] parallel, cpiplcural ridge [35] present. - Abdomen. Abdomen [36] with two pairs of laterosclerites. Intersegmental membrane [37] without brickwall pattern. Second sternite [38] fully developed, first sternite [39] completely absent. Tergal basolateral ridges [40] absent, carina [41] not present on any sternitcs. Fimbriate edge [42] on tergite VII unmodified . Tergum X [43] not divided, its dorsal struts [44] not developed, its basolateral parts [45] not fused to tergum IX. - Secondary sexual characters. Macrocephaly [46] sometimes present, macrothoracy [47] absent. Sternum VII without spines [48] or row of modified setae [49]. The apical edge of sternite VIII [50] shows sexual dimorphism, but
