Morphological Features
Central area of frons elevated, with a deep groove (frontal suture) on middle. Inner side of pedicel with clustered, sharp setae resembling a spine. Pronotum with rounded sides or notched at sides of base; when notched, basal constriction more pronounced than apical one, and there is a lateral projection near the base. Prosternal process flat, posteriorly truncate and not overlapping mesoventral process. Metafemora generally with two apical spicules of equal length. Antennae with antennomeres three to six or seven spinose or subspinulose externally at apex in one subgenus; in another subgenus antennomeres not spinose at apex, though sometimes very acutely angulate or subspinulose. Pronotum in one subgenus solidly and densely clothed with short pubescence, never transversally banded with light hairs except for a band only on posterior margin; in another subgenus pronotum always transversally banded with light hairs, bands usually complete or rarely interrupted on disc. Elytral pubescence color and pattern variable.
