Structural characteristics: General appearance (Fig. 1) elongate oval, about 3.5 times longer than greatest width of abdomen. Head (Figs 1-3) relatively short, slightly (about 1.05 times) wider than long, about 0.65 times as long as width of pronotum across humeral angles, divided into fore and hind lobes by a very deep transverse interocular furrow. Preocular part short, very slightly longer than eyes, about 2.4 times longer than postocular, declivent and gradually narrowing anteriorly; bucculae prominent, surpassing apex of tylus; frons with a pair of long, nearly parallel, semi-erect, obtuse spines between antennái insertions, antenniferous tubercles small, with a pair of long, relatively slender, obtuse spines. Eyes very large, laterally prominent, oval in lateral aspect, with a few strong bristles among facets; diatone Figs 1-5.
