Thin white pubescence is observable on sides. Prehumeral carina more than 1/3 the length of pronotum. Marginal carinae joined at base. Scutellum transversely carinate. Elytra squared at apex which is microdenticulate. Disc with short white pubescence, with exception of six (3+3) elongated spots more dense and evident, along suture, at callus, before middle, and at ¾ of length. Between these perisutural spots disc appears glabrous. Ventral side with uniform short, white pubescence, more dense at lateroterga and at metecoxa. All claws simply mucronate. Metatarsus shorter than metatibia, with first metatarsomere as long as sum of following 3 (1=2+3+4). Aedeagus black, sclerotized: median lobe with apex rounded (figure 17).
