Redescription. Body form ovate ( Figs 3, 6, 9 ). Rostrum 1/2 to 2/3 as long as pronotum ( Figs 103, 104 ); scrobes ventrolaterally set ( Figs 104 , 117 ). Scutellum bare (Figs 16–18, 119). Elytra with small glossy tubercles along median suture, just posterior to scutellum ( Fig. 120 ); interstria 9 not costate at base, stria 9 reaching base. Mesosternal receptacle transverse, not passing middle of meso-coxae ( Figs 91 , 102 , 114–116 ). Pro and meso-coxae almost contiguous ( Figs 91 , 102 , 114–116 ).

Meso-tibiae with a small flange at base with an adjacent pitted area ( Figs 51 , 74 ). Abdominal suture between ventrites 1 and 2 weak and fine; ventrite 2 nearly as long as ventrites 3 and 4 combined ( Figs 78 , 91 , 102 ). Abdomino-femoral stridulatory structure present; stridulatory files present on the inner lateral aspect of meta-femora ( Figs 123 –139), stridulatory plectrum laterally on ventrite 1 ( Figs 123 124 , 128, 129 , 134, 135). Aedeagus always with Y or V shaped endophallic sclerite ( Figs 27 , 38 , 59 , 79 , 92 , 105 ). Tegmen with apodeme either absent or very small ( Figs 29 , 40 , 60 , 80 , 94 , 107 ).
