Pronotum with lateral angles rounded, posterior ones more widely. Scutellum punctate on its periphery. Elytra with ten fine striae, the first seven ones well impressed; punctures on striae spaced by 1 to 3 times their own width, set most close together along inner striae, and hardly larger than those on pronotum. Interstriae broad and flat, with punctures forming rather irregular rows, sometimes two or three in number, a little finer than those of striae. Micropunctures on interstriae, chiefly inner ones, rare and very light. Scutellar stria with eight punctures. Systematic punctures larger on interstriae 3rd, 5th and 7th. Sutural angle of each elytron narrowly rounded. No spine-like hairs on outer interstriae. Long hairs on interstriae 1st, 3rd, 5th and 11th. Ventral surface glossy, pubescent, mostly punctate, blackened except labium and prosternum testaceous. Mesosternal process laminar with a strong tooth pointing downwards, followed by a low and irregular ridge and ending in rounded angle (
