slightly longer than wide, the greatest width at about 1/4 of pronotal length. Lateral margins almost straight and moderately parallel, slightly converging behind widest point until strongly rounded posterior angles, weakly crenulate with shallow and very narrow marginal sulcus adjacent to narrow, raised border. Both specimens exhibit an extremely slight but noticeable sinuation to side margins at about, or just behind, middle. Anterior angles obtuse angulate and distinctly produced by sinuation of anterior marginal border. Anterior margin almost straight in middle 3/4 and unbordered until it joins the lateral margins. Posterior angles strongly rounded with small denticles interrupting. Posterior margin very weakly lobed and evenly rounded, completely margined by sulcus, a continuation of the lateral sulcus. A pair of narrow, shallow, fovae in basal sulcus which is evenly rounded between. Basal border narrow, not obviously punctate.

Frontal margins concavely bisinuate and narrowed (at approx. 40o angle) to anterior margin, itself distinctly concave with right margin further produced than left. Shallow depression of coalescing punctures on each side of frons, and (barely) in front of eyes. Head shining with punctures separated by several times their diameter, less abundant adjacent to and anterior of, eye. Eye moderately coarsely facetted, about 7–10 ommatidia in length along lateral margin, dorsally, and similar size ventrally. Male with setose pit on submentum.
