Prothorax with lateral tubercles continuous with posterior angles; pronotum with two or three rows of coarse punctures on posterior margin and punctures arranged in an inverted “V” on disc. Prosternum and mesosternum with intercoxal process narrow, laminiform, about 1/ 10 as wide as one coxa. Elytra about 2.5 times as long as prothorax; fine punctation sparsely distributed on distal half and densely on basal half; apical 2/3 of lateral margin with short seriate setae; elytral apices semicircularly notched, sutural and outer angles slightly projected.
