Frons blackish in ground colour, sometimes paler medially adjacent to eye margin, grey-dusted except for small rounded shining patch, on some extending forward of antennal bases. Eyes separated at their narrowest by between one sixth and one fifth head width, about equal to width across lateral ocelli inclusive.

Antennae black, sometimes yellower on scape and pedicel, third segment, a little less than twice length of scape and pedicel together, narrow swollen below basally, narrowing apically, sensilla white. All antennal segments with very short fine white setulae above.

Disc finely punctured, the hair insertions well separated by smooth shining cuticle. Paramedian vittae can be distinct, impunctate and finely transversely striated, reaching to wing insertions, or almost invisible. Mesonotum clothed with fairly long, fine silky white vestiture, erect to slightly reclinate, tending to proclinate close to scutellum, hairs as long as those on upper occiput. Laterally the hairs are longer and erect or inclined inwards. Acrostichal hairs between the bare paramedian vittae multiserial, entirely erect to slightly reclinate, widening slightly posteriorly, dorsocentrals not distinguishable from the general vestiture. Scutellum dusted as adjacent parts of mesonotum, hairing as mesonotum, cuticle smooth, unwrinkled. Pleurae uniformly grey dusted largely obscuring ground colour, except for a small area of shining cuticle on anepisternum anterodorsal in some individuals. Fine white hairs, like those on mesonotum, on pronotum and upper half of the anepisternum.
