excavate, clypeus posteriorly broadly carinate ; pronotum at base a little broader than 

 long, centrally longitudinally depressed, anterior margin truncate, posterior margin 

 angularly concave, lateral margins obliquely rounded ; mesonotum with the disk 

 centrally flattened into a broad longitudinal process, the margins of which are a little 

 upwardly raised ; tegmina about twice as broad as long, the costal membrane about or 

 a little more than four times as broad as radial area, strongly arched at base, strongly 

 transversely veined, the tegmina are broader at base than at apex where they are 

 roundly obliquely truncate, posterior claval angle broad, the whole venation coarse 

 and prominent ; wings about as broad as tegmina ; posterior tibiae with a distinct 

 subapical spine. 



This genus belongs to the Division Flatoidesaria, and is allied to the genus Uxaniis 

 Stal, from which it differs in the distinct structure of the head.
