Rostrum glabrous ventrally; peduncle flat, bilamellate anteriorly. Scrobe with posterior margin separated from anterior margin of eyes by about width of base of scape. Antennal scape about one­half length rostrum; club elongate­oval; apical pilose part one­third length of entire club. Pronotum with lateral margins subparallel to slightly sinuate in basal one­half, convergent subapically, tubulate to apex; moderately densely, deeply punctate on flanks, across apical margin and at middle of base, otherwise disc impunctate; flat at base. Pronotum with length slightly greater than width. Elytra one and one­half times length pronotum; intervals impunctate, flat; striae with distinct, moderately deep, small punctures. Scutellum broadly “V” shaped, length one and one­half times width at base, concave anteriorly, slightly emarginate. Pygidium very slightly convex, not tumescent; coarsely deeply punctate and setose throughout; apex subtruncate; apical margin with row of short setae, also with small patch of denser, erect setae medially near base. Ventrally with front coxae separated by slightly more than one­half width of coxa; prosternum moderately densely, regularly punctate, flat. Lateral portions of meso­, metasternum and ventrites 1 to 5 moderately densely, deeply punctate; punctures larger laterally on metasternum and ventrites 1 and 2; middle of metasternum and ventrites 1­4 virtually impunctate, shining; last ventrite flat, with large round patch of dense long erect hairs covering middle of apical three­quarters. Legs short, sparsely, very shallowly punctate; femora slightly clavate, short, hind femur reaching apex of ventrite 4; inner margins of all tibiae slightly sinuate subapically; hind tibiae with distinct tuft of dense elongate hairs at about the midlength, the hairs getting progressively shorter towards the tibial apex. Tarsi each with third article widely dilated, pilose ventrally except in broad “V” shaped median area; all tarsi with third articles symmetrical; apical margins of third articles moderately deeply emarginate.</paragraph>
