Mouthframe pale ferruginous. Antenna with segment 2 about one and one-half times as long as basal width; segment 3 about three times as long as basal width. Mandible short, broad, entirely pitchy. Labrum transversely oval, with anterior margin fringed with pale setae. One pair of large ocelli present; lens round, convex. Hypostoma micro-granulate, with front margin rather broadly pale ferruginous, glabrous; sutures indistinct. Gula slightly raised ; sutures concave, distinct. Maxilla and labial palpi with apical segments distinctly longer than penultimate segments; dorso-external process of palpifer distinct, attenuated. Prothorax strongly transverse; pronotum :finely longitudinally striate; prosternum micro-granulate; eusternum undefined. Abdomen with ampullae having two lateral and two transverse bow-shaped furrows; shining, microgranulate, feebly tuberculate and scarcely protuberant. Legs distinctly 4-segmented, pale.
