Pronotum impressed along the midline, punctation dense and coarse. Pygidium with a large impunctate area. Antennal club of the male 1.13–1.16 as long as the clypeus width. Protibiae bidentate. Examined material. Holotype: Iran, Darab, VI. 1960, s/blé [= on wheat], [leg.] Rémaudière, ♂ (MNHN). Paratypes: same data of the holotype, 3 ♂ (1 DKCC, 2 MNHN). Description of the male holotype.

Antennae with 9 antennomeres; club with 3 antennomeres, 2.0 times longer than funicle (antennomeres 2–6) and 1.12 times as long as clypeus width. Scape noticeably enlarged at the apex; antennomere 2 wider than long; antennomeres 3, 4, 5 increasing in length; antennomere 6 discoidal. Pronotum transverse, 1.45 times wider than long.
