Samouelle, 1819

Eyes with nearly complete or complete orbits. Orbit formed by a supraocular hood, an intercalated spine, and a sharp postocular tooth. Basal antennal article very broad but not specially expanded to form a floor to the orbit, and usually armed at both anterior angles with a strong spine. Male abdomen with all segments distinct in both sexes and nearly uniform in width rather than triangular. G1 slender, weakly curved, aperture subterminal and usually protected by lobes or flaps, apex usually slender and simple. (Guinot 1998)
