Diagnosis
This distinctive chlamydopsine resembles members of the Orectoscelis lineage. However, it is distinguished by the combination of a distinct prementum, 3-segmented labial palpi, lack of an accessory epipleural stria, and lack of any frontal or anterior pronotal processes. It also apparently has a visible, though recessed, scutellum. This character requires additional confirmation (Caterino 2006).
