Antennae slender, 11-segmented, longer than body in both sexes; scape elongate, extending to or beyond pronotal tubercles, with a distinct apical process; third segment equal to or slightly longer than scape; remaining segments gradually decreasing in length. Pronotum subcylindrical, wider across tubercles than long, sides acutely spined before basal impression; disk convex, with or without low calluses, surface finely to densely punctate. Mesosternum with intercoxal process 2–3 times width of narrowest point of prosternal process. Pubescence dense, appressed, with longer suberect setae scattered.
