. Anterior clypeal margin on most is weakly sinuate in anterior view, is somewhat raised in the middle on a few. Lateral pronotal margin, evenly arcuate on most, is slightly angulate on a few. Patches of elytral setae vary in size in the specimens available. On some, their somewhat linear arrangement is clearer, but never prominent, on others it is imperceptible. The elytral pattern of radiating lines in reflected light is not visible in most specimens. Two specimens studied had patterning identical to the other members of this group. Body color also varied from light brown to dark brown, almost black.
