First primibrachials relatively long, not more than three times as broad as long, regularly oblong or slightly trapezoidal, with lateral edges usually making a straight line, or a very wide angle with those of the axil. P₁ stout but tapering rapidly, with <20 (usually 13 to 15) segments. Disk naked interbrachially.
