The genus can be recognized by having the mandibular plates surpassing slightly the clypeus; first labial segment entirely between the bucculae; the labium reaching or surpassing the abdominal base; the anterolateral margins of the pronotum angular dorsoventrally, at least posteriorly; the femora are unarmed; the tibiae are sulcate; the abdomen without spiniform processes; and the paramere is bilobated with denticles between the lobes (Rolston 1986).
