The position of this genus will be best understood by a reference 

 to the Synopsis of Genera given ou p. 3. The body is sometimes 

 very distinctly pilose and the orifices are red or luteous ; the 

 anterior area of the prouotum is usually distinctly, sparsely 

 punctate, but sometimes too pilose for the punctuation to be 

 clearly visible, it is also subobsoletely centrally carinate ; the apes 

 of the scutellum is laterally and prominently produced ; the eyes 

 are not separated from the anterior pronotal angles.
