(2) the vertex with lateral margins concave and with incomplete median carina;

(3) the tegmina evenly rounded along lateral margin in dorsal view;

(4) the anal tube of male dorsoventrally flattened and with apical margin roundly emarginate;

(5) the aedeagus rather simple, moderately curved in lateral view and with a single pair of ventral processes curved anterodorsad.

Note

The genus was recently described in Zhang et al. (2020) to include a new species from Hainan Island, and it is here recorded from Vietnam for the first time.
