narrower than anterior margin of pronotum (HEAW/WPR3 = 0.91), temples short, convergent. Clypeus and frons separated by transverse impression between antennal insertion. Clypeus flat with simple punctures smaller than eye-facets, separated by 1.0–1.5 diameters and bearing fine inconspicuous decumbent setae; interspaces smooth and shining. Anterior margin of clypeus subtruncate, not bordered. Frons moderately convex, punctate like clypeus with intermixed large flat reniform punctures nearly equal in size to eye-facets and bearing thick semidecumbent conspicuous setae. Antennae shorter than width of head across eyes (ratio HEAW/ANLE = 1.44), antennal club oval (ratio ANCL/ANCW = 1.56, occupying ca. one third of antenna length. Antennomere III almost as long as IV–VII combined; antennomeres IV and V subequal, nearly 1.5× longer than wide; antennomeres VI–VIII subequal, nearly as long as wide, antennomere VIII not wider than preceding ones.

Anterior margin in middle truncate, not bordered; anterior angles sharp, prominent. Lateral margins arcuate, explanate (explanate sides nearly as wide as antennal flagellum). Basal margin projecting into short subtruncate lobe in front of scutellum, besides it twice shallowly concave and finely bordered. Posterior angles obtuse, not prominent. Pronotal disc broadly vaulted, with small fine simple punctures separated by 1.5–2.0 diameters and bearing fine inconspicuous decumbent setae reaching base of the following ones, intermixed with large shallow punctures bearing thicker semidecumbent yellowish setae. Interspaces smooth and shining.

nearly as long as their combined width (ratio LELY/WELY = 0.97), 2.23× longer than pronotum, simultaneously rounded apically. Lateral margins arcuate, slightly explanate. Dorsum more strongly transversely convex than pronotum. Punctures smaller than eye-facets, simple, in basal portion more pronounced and closer than those of pronotum, separated mostly by less than one diameter, becoming gradually finer and sparser posteriad, and larger and close, somewhat rugose laterally. Interspaces smooth and shining. Semidecumbent thin setae nearly reaching base of the following ones, intermixed with finer inconspicuous setae.

Postmentum transversely concave (canaliculate) at base, punctures almost equal in size to eye-facets, separated by one diameter or less, interspaces smooth and shining. Antennal furrows deep, partly concealed by extended S-shaped outer edges of postmentum, converging posteriad. Genae posterior to eyes impunctate. Prosternum broadly transversely convex, in middle flat, anterior margin broadly finely bordered; punctures smaller than eye-facets, separated by 1–3 diameters in middle, becoming larger and closer laterally. Prosternal process broad, horizontal, bordered at sides, apical margin with broadly obtusely angulate emargination in middle, punctures in basal half shallow, smaller than eye-facets, separated by ca. two diameters, becoming smaller, deeper and closer in apical portion; interspaces smooth and shining. Hypomera transversely wrinkled and obsoletely punctate. Mesoventrite transversely vaulted and impunctate in front of mesocoxae, its posterior intercoxal portion almost flat, distinctly punctate, punctures markedly smaller than eye-facets, separated by 1.5–2.0 diameters, interspaces smooth and shining. Metaventrite almost flat in middle, punctate like intercoxal portion of mesoventrite, punctures becoming larger, deeper and closer (separated by one diameter or less) laterally. Discrimen absent. Outer portion of mesocoxal lines rectilinear, reaching sternopleural suture just posterior to oblique ridge on metepisterna. Metepisterna with raised oblique ridge nearly opposing mesocoxal lines, feebly reticulate and punctate like lateral portions of metaventrite, small subtriangular area anterior to raised ridge impunctate. Abdominal ventrite I as long as metaventrite, with analogous punctation. Metacoxal lines consisting of two parts: inner one rectilinear, running from inner corner of metacoxal cavity posterolaterad to posterior margin of ventrite I, and outer one transverse, asymmetrically arcuate, approaching posterior margin of metacoxal cavity at its outer half and vanishing at midlength of inner rectilinear part. Abdominal ventrites II–IV gradually shorter, punctate like ventrite I, but punctures are markedly closer, separated by one diameter or less. Hypopygium broadly rounded, somewhat more coarsely and densely punctate.

Temples short, convergent. Frons separated from clypeus by transverse impression; clypeus truncate, not bordered, forming an obtuse angle with frons. Punctures of frons smaller than eye-facets, separated by less than one diameter, on clypeus sparser, separated by one diameter, on frons intermixed with umbillicate punctures larger than eye-facets, which moreover, form a series along occipital sulcus; interspaces smooth and shining. Antennae shorter than width of head across eyes (ratio HEAW/ANLE = 1.50), slender, antennal club occupying less than one third of antenna length (ratio ANLE/ANCL = 2.88), oval, ca. 1.66× longer than wide.

Basal margin with subtruncate prescutellar lobe, besides it obliquely subtruncate, completely (however indistinctly so in middle) bordered; basal rim with series of fine punctures. Posterior angles feebly obtuse, not prominent. Lateral margins arcuate, gradually converging anteriad; sides explanate, as wide as length of scape. Punctures generally smaller than eye-facets, but of varying size, separated by 1.0–1.5 diameters; at sides and at base besides scutellum intermixed with large umbillicate punctures separated by 0.5–1.0 diameters. Semirecumbent thin yellowish setae fairly reaching base of the following ones, sparse but distinct, intermixed with thin darker recumbent, hardly distinct, setae.

Sutural line absent. Punctures small, more uniform than those on pronotum, separated by ca. 1.0–1.5 diameters on disc, becoming larger, closer and rugose at sides. Pubescence like on pronotum.
