basal margin, the middle of the disc with two longitudinal rows of 
deep punctures, the anterior angles likewise strongly punctured.

stricted at the sides, with indications of a sulcus. Elytra punctate-

bilobed, claws simple. Prosternum not visible between the coxae ; 
first abdominal segment longer than the following two.

and the subcylindrical non-constricted thorax at once separate this 
genus from Lema and Crioceris. The head especially is of totally 
different shape with small eyes but the antennae are not unlike 
those of the last-named genus.
