Furrow sometimes just indicated as a weak longitudinal line with fine punctures. Each side laterally with two circular shallow punctate fovea; punctures fine to coarse. Anterior margin at middle projected in medium sized and major males; projection conical or flattened dorsally and weakly bifurcate at apex, never reaching above middle of head.
