" Body without lustre, upperside bare, underside quite shortly 

 dusky hairy ; head as in Notochilus, triangularly produced with 

 a narrow far projecting clypeus, shortly and strongly narrowed 

 behind the eyes which are hardly of medium size, the part of the 

 head between eyes and antennal furrows parallel-sided, rather 

 shorter than the longitudinal diameter of the eye ; the small 

 ocelli about two and half times as wide apart as from eye ; throat 

 horizontal ; rostrum passing the hind coxae, first joint reaching 

 base of head ; pronotum narrowly trapezoidal, a little shorter 

 than its width between the shoulders, strongly constricted just 

 behind the middle, the hinder area a little elevated backward, 

 distinctly punctured, the slightly spherically convex front area 

 is only extremely finely punctured and has a distinct neck-ring in 

 front ; the angularly constricted lateral margin of the pronotum has, 

 especially in its front half, a very indistinct marginal keel ; bind 

 margins straightly truncated ; scutellum somewhat equilateral, with 

 .a smooth central keel behind the middle ; clavus regularly punctate
