(Fig. 16D), but they exhibit pronotal lateral marginal depressions that are apically narrowed, and elytral lateral marginal depressions that are only narrowly reflexed (Fig. 17D). The discal elytral striae 1-6 are deeply and narrowly incised, and are lined with elongate punctures along their basal half, the punctures causing crenulations along the strial length. The eighth interval is finely carinate dorsad the posterior series of the lateral elytral setae, and gradually toward the elytral apex where the interval is broadly convex. The frons and vertex are covered with dense transverse lines that are progressively replaced by an isodiametric mesh near the pronotal juncture. The pronotal disc is glossy medially, with an elongate, partially confused transverse mesh laterally; and the discal elytral intervals are covered with isodiametric sculpticells arranged in transverse rows. The male aedeagal median lobe is very similar to those of
