Head dull, smooth, completely granulate; frontal line absent; frons without lateral keels; occipital carina complete; POL = 4; OL = 3; OOL = 4; OPL = 2.5; TL = 4. Pronotum dull, granulate; posterior surface longer than anterior surface and shorter than mesoscutum (5:7); pronotal tubercle reaching tegula. Mesoscutum granulate. Notauli incomplete, reaching about 0.5 × length of mesoscutum (in specimen from
