Head and mesosoma with abundant setae, except asetose on discs of mesoscutum and mesoscutellum. Basal half of T1 with scattered, semierect simple setae; distal half of T1 and T2-T6 with appressed setae on discs, each setae at least twice as long as a puncture width, becoming longer towards apical terga, apical margins laterally with dense, white tomentum of appressed plumose setae (Fig. 18); disc of T6 and sides of T1-T6 each with long, semierect, simple and plumose setae; sterna with semierect, long setae as long as those on sides of terga. Punctation. Weakly imbricate to smooth and shiny. Vertex densely punctate, punctures separated by at most a puncture width, becoming enlongate and sparser on upper gena. Mesoscutum with punctures separated by 1-2 times a puncture width, punctures becoming sparser towards center to completely absent on disc; mesoscutellum largely impunctate, with few, scattered punctures.
