Clypeus and labrum with punctures similar to those of head, evidently narrower than the interocular width, slightly rounded on sides, convex, positioned almost on the same level of frons, frontoclypeal suture well visible; labrum slightly shorter and narrower than clypeus, the fore margin almost straight. Maxillary palpomeres subcylindrical and stout, IV flattened and slightly enlarged anteriorly, with black setae on the external side of the apex of each palpomere (except IV), particularly on III; labial palpi with long and dense setae, particularly on the penultimate palpomere. Mandibles short and evidently curved. Antennae with 9 visible antennomeres: antennomere I subequal in length to II–III together; II subglobose; III–VI slender and subcylindrical, III 1.5 as long as IV; IV–VI similar in length, cylindrical, progressively increasing in width; VII–VIII trapezoidal, evidently wider than VI, VIII wider than VII, IX as long as V–VIII together, deriving by the fusion of three antennomeres (IX–XI), as evidenced by the vanished suture visible on ventral side, beanshaped, on the anterior third conical but apically stout.</paragraph>

Pronotum elongate, slightly longer than wide and slightly narrower than head, scarcely sinuate on sides before the middle and then slightly narrowing anteriad; anterior third slightly depressed; a narrow middle longitudinal depression extended in the middle, base depressed just in front of mesonotum; puncturation similar to that on head, but wider, more scattered posteriad. Elytra parallel, dorsally convex, subopaque with dense but superficial, punctures, wider than on pronotum; elytral pattern as in
