Head 0.93 times as wide as elytra; interocular area with two deep longitudinal furrows, median portion convex, extending a little beneath the level of inner eye margins; punctures round to elliptic, mostly well delimited, similar in size, diameter of punctures as wide as apical cross section of antennal segment II; interstices partially reticulated, distinctly narrower than half the diameter of punctures. Paraglossa oval.
Pronotum 1.06 times as long as wide; disk slightly uneven, with shallow median longitudinal furrow; punctures slightly confluent, different in size, large punctures similar to those of head; interstices partially reticulated, narrower than half the diameter of punctures.
Elytra as long as wide; disk relatively even with shallow humeral impression and shallow sutural impression; punctures mostly similar in size and slightly larger than the large punctures of pronotum, interstices mostly shallowly reticulated.
Legs with tarsomeres IV deeply bilobed.
Abdomen cylindrical; segment III with paratergites very narrow and punctate, directed ventrad, segments IV– VI with tergites and sternites fused with suture very indistinct, tergite VII with apical membranous fringe; punctures round to elliptic, becoming slightly smaller posteriad; interstices reticulated, mostly narrower than half the diameter of punctures on tergite III–V.
Male. Sternite VII with posteriomedian portion flattened and posterior margin slightly emarginated at middle; sternite VIII (
Fig. 14
) with very shallow emargination at middle of posterior margin; sternite IX (
Fig. 13
) with long apicolateral projections, posterior margin serrate and roundly emarginated. Aedeagus (
Figs. 15
, 16) slender; apical sclerotized area with a round apical projection at middle; expulsion clasps large, strongly sclerotized; parameres much longer than median lobe, tapering apicad at about half, each with 5 subapical setae and 8 basal setae on apico-internal margins.
