Head: mostly brown; vertex pale brown; clypeus dark brown; antennae mostly dark brown; first and second antennal segments dark brown; others brown; labium mostly dark brown, first labial segment pale brown except for dark apex. Thorax: pronotum mostly dark brown, posteromedial part pale brown; pronotal collar dark brown except for posterior part pale; scutellum pale brown; hemelytra mostly dark brown; corium mostly dark brown, pale sub-basally; cuneus brown, apical part dark brown; legs mostly brown with dark patches; base and apex of tibia dark brown. Abdomen: brown with dark patches. Surface and Vestiture. Dorsum partly punctate, covered with one type of setae; head with tuft of setae on vertex; frons with erected setae; antennae with short pubescence; pronotum weakly punctate, covered with short pubescence; scutellum impunctate; hemelytra densely covered with one type of pubescence, weakly punctate. Structure. Head: projected dorsally, length superior to first antennal segment length; vertex as long as 1.15 times compound eye width; antennae long; first segment longer than vertex width; second segment cylindrical, as long as 5 times first segment length, less than 2 times third segment length; proportion of first to third antennal segments (fourth missing) 0.5: 0.25: 1.65; labium reaching hind coxae; third labial segment shortest; proportion of first to fourth labial segments 0.78: 0.64: 0.22: 0.82. Thorax: pronotum trapezoidal, pronotal angle rounded; scutellum wider than long; commissure longer than scutellum length; cuneus elongate, inner margin straight; membrane with two cells; legs long, hind femur apex exceeding apex of abdomen.
