from lateral margin to, or nearly to, suture, matted with greyish yellow, decumbent setae, setal patterns broadly meeting at suture; basal two-fifths regularly and comparatively shallowly punctate in rows, diameter of punctures a little smaller than, or as wide as, intervals; inner four rows of elytral punctation fading away behind lunate band; basal two-fifths with erect, black setae (extreme base with some light yellow setae), black part with posteriorly directed, black, decumbent pubescence (apical third mixed with some light yellow setae as well).
