Easily diagnosed among Heza by having at least the first four connexiva armed posterolaterally but lacking accessory teeth on the fourth, vertical discal spines of the posterior pronotal lobe arising from black spots, and the anterior angles of the pronotum not produced into a vertical tooth or spine. The pink-orange-red color palette also is distinctive.
