Belongs within: Tenebrionidae.
The Ulomini are a pantropical tribe of tenebrionid beetles found in well-rotted wood in forests (Matthews & Bouchard 2008).
Characters (from Matthews & Bouchard 2008): Oblong, parallel-sided, convex, glabrous, piceous. Total length 4–20 mm. Edge of clypeus more or less straight in middle, clypeolabral membrane often exposed, at least in middle. Eyes (if present) reniform. Labrum trapezoidal, narrower basally, medial tormal arms of epipharynx directed somewhat anterad, expanded at their mesal extremities into very long anterior and shorter posterior extensions, epitorma absent, setal pattern symmetrical. Antennae short, reaching halfway or less to base of prothorax, segments gradually widening distally, transverse, distal edges of preapical segments bearing a circle of placoid sensoria, apical ones with stellate compound sensoria. Corpotentorium a little curved upwards. Mandibles apically bi- or tridentate, with short slender scissorial lobe and large mola, surface of mola with coarse teeth, not finely striate. Maxilla with two lacinial unci, one of which is laminar, palpi with apical segment obliquely securiform. Pronotum subquadrate, disc evenly convex or often anteriorly excavate in male. Prosternum moderately long before coxae. Procoxal cavities internally closed. Mesocoxal cavities closed by the ventrites. Metendosternite with laminae. Elytra with nine striae and scutellary striole, humeral angles dentate, epipleura not reaching apex, latter excised uncovering part of pygidium. Wings with venation unmodified, apical membrane up to one-third of wing length, without medial or apical flecks. Legs with pro- and mesotibiae fossorial, flattened and with dentate or spinulose outer edges, tarsomeres not lobed, plantar surfaces with moderately dense setae. Abdomen with last tergite partly exposed by excised elytral apices. Defensive gland reservoirs long, contracting to narrow bases, with large basomedial pouches, without common volume. Ovipositor shortened, with paraprocts shorter than coxites, gonostyles small and apical in position, paraproct baculi oblique, coxite baculi transverse. Female tract without bursa, with single coiled spermatheca attached to base of long slender accessory gland, without vaginal sclerites. Aedeagus with curved basal piece much longer than apical, its sides fused ventrally to form flattened tube, alae formed as extensions of apical piece.
