Between margin and eyes with two impressions (clypeal grooves); beside inner margin of eyes with distinct line of impressed punctures. Entire surface distinctly reticulated, but reticulation weakly impressed; meshes polygonal and more or less isodiametric, near anterior margin smaller and transverse, on frons lager and not transverse; in clypeal grooves and near eyes meshes rather small. Punctation very sparse and fine behind anterior margin, becoming progressively denser and larger posteriad; on frons diameter of most punctures slightly smaller than that of meshes, distance between punctures about three diameters of meshes; punctation on frons interspersed with a few larger and some smaller punctures; on vertex punctation again sparser and finer. Setation on head absent, except very few setae in clypeal grooves and in puncture lines along inner margin of eyes. Antennomeres yellowish brown, progressively somewhat darkened distally beginning with sixth antennomere; palpomeres uniformly yellowish. First and second antennomeres (scape and pedicel, respectively) relatively long, third distinctly shorter, fourth still shorter; fifth as long as third; sixth to ninth again longer and slightly broadened (see arrow "a" in

). Dark brownish parts somewhat lighter than on head and pronotum. Yellowish brown pattern consisting of broad band in anterior quarter and two spots in posterior half. Base of elytra narrowly and suture broadly dark brownish. Along lateral elytral margin narrowly yellowish brown; epipleura of same colour. Outline of elytra in dorsal view almost straight in anterior quarter, behind evenly rounded, in posterior quarter progressively more curved. Maximum width somewhat before mid-length of elytra. Sides of elytra with distinct rim. In lateral view margin of elytra almost straight, only very weakly ascending to humeral angles in anterior quarter; angle between elytral margin and straight margin of pronotum about 170°; epipleura not visible until shoulders. Entire elytral surface reticulated, meshes isodiametric, very slightly smaller than those of pronotum; near apex still smaller. Punctation sparse, diameter of punctures more or less equalling diameter of meshes; distance between punctures about that of five meshes; in posterior quarter punctures still sparser. Very small punctures at intersections of meshes relatively numerous. Two puncture lines perceptible if observed in adequate direction, consisting of rather irregularly arranged punctures; in anterior third more distinct than posteriorly. Setation very thin, transparent and indistinct, restricted to sides and posterior third. Sutural puncture line absent.

, arrow "b"). First five abdominal ventrites centrally with sparse and small punctation, more laterally punctures somewhat coarser and denser. Some scratches (like on metacoxal plates) near posterior margins; last abdominal ventrite with few small punctures. Reticulation on first five abdominal ventrites centrally very weak, almost imperceptible; more laterally becoming more distinct; last ventrite without reticulation. Epipleura distinctly reticulate, thus surface rather matt; almost impunctate. Underside of elytra sublaterally in posterior third with distinct carina; carina progressively becoming more elevated in posterior third and then abruptly ending short before apex of elytron; without ligula. Legs without conspicuous features. Anterior and posterior claws of fore- and mid-legs short, evenly curved and similar (most probably also those of hind-legs, but only one claw of one leg present). Metafemur with about six coarse punctures, not arranged in a clear line; trochanter also with some irregularly distributed coarse punctures. Metatibia with line of five spiniferous punctures and few additional ones. Metatarsomeres impunctate, first longer than second, second and third more or less of equal length, fourth still shorter; fifth slightly shorter than first and also shorter than third and fourth together. Setation on venter very sparse, perceptible only near sides of metacoxal plates and on sides as well as near hind margin of abdominal ventrites.
