Pale mesopleura (thorax sides).  Pronotum with two small rounded lumps (pronotal callosities) at the front part and smooth at the rear.  Together with the collar, the callosities are less than the length of the smooth part of the pronotum to the back of the pronotum. (ref.: B S Nau, unpublished key to Miridae, 2012)
