Characters : The insects of this genus are distinguished by the sharp suprahumerals which 

 are widely separated at their bases and particularly by the posterior process which is more or less 

 sinuate, distinctly angulate at the base and ampliate or lobed beneath. Head subquadrate, wider than 

 high; base arcuate and slightly sinuate ; eyes globular; ocelli small, inconspicuous, equidistant from 

 each other and from the eyes and situated somewhat above a line drawn through centers of eyes ; 

 inferior margins of genae sinuate and sloping downward; clypeus extending for half its length below 

 the inferior margins of the genae, tip rounded. Pronotum convex with long sharp suprahumerals ; 

 metopidium nearly vertical, broader than high; median carina strongly percurrent; humeral angles 

 large und blunt ; suprahumeral horns variable in size and structure but usually strong, longer than the 

 distance between their bases, extending outward and upwaid and curving backward, with tips sharp ; 

 posterior process heavy, more or less sinuate, arising from high above the scutellum, and having an 

 inferior lobe or plate which is sometimes attached to the scutellum, tip sharp and reaching a Httle 

 beyond the internal angles of the tegmina; scutellum well exposed, triangular, longer than broad. 

 Tegmina hyaline; basal and costal areas broadly coriaceous and punctate; tip rounded ; five apical and 

 three discoidal cells; apical limbus narrow. Hind wings with three apical cells. Legssimple; hind 

 tibiae feebly spined; all tarsi about equal in length.
