A 2002 revision of the genus established four species. Species of this genus are variable in size and color, and individuals of a given species can be varied in appearance as well, so the morphology of the male genitalia is used to delimit species.[1]
The beetles are yellowish in color with black markings. They have large heads with long antennae.[1]
