<paragraph id="3AE1A393CE0E820818DE4D7080FB0B90" pageId="162" pageNumber="163">Head: Pale ferrugineous, posteriorly at eyes with vague, somewhat darker area. Reticulation double; in part weakly developed. Large meshes (when discernible) contain generally 3-6 small meshes. Almost impunctate; at eyes with a few, rather indistinct, slightly coarser punctures.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="0AD8CA5B3EBB66CFCF6DFC16D3032BEB" pageId="162" pageNumber="163">Elytra: Dark ferrugineous, with distinct pale ferrugineous, subbasal and pre-apical markings (Fig. 465). Subbasal, pale marking sometimes formed by a number of connected, pale spots located transversely over elytra. Submat, with double reticulation. Larger meshes at base and frontally at suture distinct and their shape mainly longitudinal. Laterally and posteriorly large meshes indistinct or absent. A longitudinal mesh may contain 4-10 small meshes. Discal and lateral row of punctures discernible, but very weakly developed and rather indistinct. Lateral, pre-apical furrow fine, finely pubescent.</paragraph>
