- Body length: 2.25-7.25mm - Frons with long, erect hair in a complete crown - Frons with a transverse band or a longitudinal rown near each eye - Apical declivity suture raised and narrowly to strongly thickened - If a juxtasutural process is either on or against or near each sutural margin, then there is no large, incurved pointed process on the lower lateral margin.

There are 11 known species in this genus:

Diagnostic characteristics of this species include:

- Body length: 3.4-5.0mm - Apical declivity armed with distinct teeth - Apical declivity teeth contiguous and inserted on the sutural margins at the middle of the apical declivity.
