Pronotal disc with anterior corner acute; anterior carina arched inward medially; median carina absent; lateral margin not carinate; posterior margin not followed by series of foveae. Scutellar pit subrounded. Mesopleuron with subtegular groove subtriangular; anterior fovea drop-shaped; upper fovea rounded; lower fovea with upper margin absent (Fig. 3). Genitalia (Figs 4, 5): paramere absent; cuspis divided into two arms, ventral arm cylindrical, as long as basiparamere in lateral view, dorsal arm 0.5 × as long as ventral arm; aedeagus wide and stout, short, only 0.64 × as long as genitalia length, without constricted between apical and basal halves; ventral margin projected downward as lamina; apodeme short.

Remarks. The absence of paramere is a very unusual character of this species. The aedeagus is wide and short as most of species of Epyris Westwood.
