Body spindle-shaped, wider than in Teleorhinus. Head 

 wedge-shaped, arched at base, nearly vertical ; eyes prominent, 

 long-oval, in contact with the angle of the pronotum in both 

 sexes ; vertex long, convex, in front of the eyes as wide as the 

 tip of pronotum ; tylus long, narrow, tapering to an almost 

 acute tip, jugum long wedge-shaped, abruptly tapering to a very 

 slender tip, gena long, narrow, regularly wedge-shaped ; rost- 

 rum slender, reaching between the anterior and middle coxae, 

 the basal joint abruptly expanded and reaching only a little 

 behind the middle of the gula; antennae long, slender, filiform, 

 longer than the combined length of the pronotum, corium and 

 cuneus, basal joint reaching beyond the tip of the head, shorter 

 than either of the other joints, second longest, about equal to 

 the third and fourth united, but as thick as the basal joint, and 

 fusiform-incrassated at tip, third a little thicker and shorter 

 than the fourth. Pronotum a truncated sub-cone, flattened 

 anteriorly, arched posteriorly, the callosities almost obsolete, 

 with the intervening surface twice indented, anterior margin 

 with a narrow collum, lateral margins a little sinuated, the edge 

 rounded off, not reflexed, with the anterior and posterior angles 

 sharp edged. Scutellum a little longer than wide, tumid and 

 exposed at base. Corium gradually widened behind, and 

 becoming more convex next the cuneus, the costal margin hardly 

 curved, but with the edge slenderly recurved, except at base, 

 where it becomes wider ; cuneus triangular, a little longer than 

 wide, depressed exteriorly ; posterior thighs flattened, long, a 

 little recurved ; basal joint of tarsi short, second longer, apical 

 one much the longest.
