The clypeus is emarginate and appears bi-lobed, while the anterior face is shallow and typically smooth and unpunctured medially.

The antennal club is not elongated and is usually shorter than the length of the first 7 segments.

The beetles have an absent metasternal process and tarsal claws with a median tooth.
