Remarks.
This species can be separated from species in the genus by the overall setiferous surface of the head and pronotum in both sexes, the setae along the base of the pronotum being denser and lighter in color, and the elytra with long semi-erect setae that is sparsely distributed around the scutellum and/or extends apically along the suture halfway down the elytra.
