. The dorsal microsculpture is better developed here, with the head covered with a shallow but traceable transverse mesh, and the pronotal disc bearing an elongate transverse mesh, the sculpticells causing an iridescent reflection. The discal elytral intervals are covered with dense transverse lines irregularly joined into a transverse mesh. The male aedeagal median lobe has a slender shaft and a dorsoventrally expanded apex, the expansions of similar development but the dorsal one more angulate (
