Apical margin arcuately, moderately emarginate. Apical angles slightly protruding, narrowly rounded at apices. Basal margin approximately equal to apical margin and slightly narrower than base of elytra between humeral angles, more or less straight medially, slightly oblique laterally. Sides clearly sinuate in basal third, very finely bordered. Basal angles slightly obtuse and slightly blunt at apex. Lateral margins and latero­basal areas slightly flattened, weakly explanate at basal angles. Basal foveae very wide, indistinct. Dorsal puncturation irregular, rather coarse and sparse, distributed almost throughout (sparser in central portion).

Preapical sinuation moderate. Sutural angle acute, narrowly rounded at apex. Basal edge rather strongly sinuate laterally, forming with lateral margin a very obtuse angle with rounded apex. Striae impunctate, deepened throughout, slightly widened posteriad. Parascutellar striole rather short, with large basal pore. Intervals convex, strongly narrowed to apex. All intervals somewhat coarsely punctate, usually with two punctures in transverse row on each interval on disc. Third interval with 5(6) discal pores usually not connected with second stria. Microsculpture visible throughout, meshes weakly transverse on disc, more or less isodiametric basally and apically.</paragraph>
