Habitus as in Fig. 1A. Body brown with paler apex, legs brown, antennae brown to reddish brown.
Head subquadrate; punctation coarse and moderately sparse; interstices with shallow microsculpture; eyes small, usually approximately 1/3–3/8 the length of postocular region in dorsal view.
Pronotum with lateral margins weakly convex in dorsal view; punctation sparser than that of head; impunctate midline narrow; interstices without microsculpture.
Elytra with punctation denser than that of pronotum and well-defined; hind wings reduced.
Abdomen with dense punctation; interstices with shallow microsculpture.
Male. Sternite IV (Fig. 2D) and V (Fig. 2E) with dense short darkish setae in postero-median concavity, on posterior margin with 6–10 peg-like setae; sternite VI (Fig. 2F) similar to V, but with much sparser setae in median concavity; sternite VII (Fig. 2H) with narrow impression, on either side of this impression with 9–12 peg-like setae; sternite VIII (Fig. 2I) with different length of setae surrounding distinctly asymmetric and deep emargination in postero-median portion; sternite IX (Fig. 2G) asymmetric; aedeagus (Fig. 2J, 2K) with conspicuously long ventral process and short dorsal sclerite.
Female. Posterior margin of tergite VIII (Fig. 2A) truncate; sternite VIII (Fig. 2B) longer than that of male, posterior margin broadly convex and with micropubescence; tergite IX (Fig. 2C) not separated from X (Fig. 2C) with short lateral processes.
