Endaeus

Body integument uniformly pale brown, head sometimes slightly darker, legs slightly lighter. Rostrum slightly shorter than prothorax (0.85–0.9×) in lateral view, 2.2–3.4× as long as width of eye, moderately downcurved to almost straight. Antennal scape longer than segments 1–5 of funicle, widening at apical ⅓ of length; funicle with segments 1 and 2 equal in length, 1 globular, slightly longer than wide, 2 twice as long as wide, 3 isodiametric, 4–6 wider than long, 6 fused to club, ⅔ as wide as club width, bearing ring of erect setae reaching apex of club segment 1. Eyes convex, strongly exceeding lateral curve of head capsule in dorsal view, space between eyes about ½ as wide as base of rostrum. Prothorax wider than long (W:L ratio 1.3–1.44), widest near middle, sides rounded; sides and apical margin with erect setae pointing outwards or upwards and forwards; recumbent setae on dorsum pointing towards scutellar shield or inner line. Femora subequal in thickness, thickened in middle, armed with flat triangular tooth; profemoral tooth followed by comb of 5–6 erect setae. Elytra with sides subparallel on basal ½, widest near middle (W:L ratio 0.75–0.83); vestiture of short, recumbent or subrecumbent setae forming 3–4 ill-defined longitudinal rows on each interstria and suberect setae 1.5–2.5× as long as former, forming one row per interstria. Underside covered with recumbent whitish setae. Meta-tibiae faintly emarginate internally in apical ⅓ with suberect incurved setae; tarsal claws appendiculate. Body of penis elongate (W:L ratio 0.26–0.36), sides subparallel, narrowing in apical ⅕, apex acuminate or rounded.
