Pronotum testaceous to light brown. Pronotum wider than long, average length to width ratio 1:1.27 (n=8); sides moderately and evenly arcuate; hind angles relatively straight to slightly arcuate laterally, with a small curve at tip, inner margin subtly sinuate, carina strong, weakly to moderately arcuate, carina connecting to apex of hind angle, reaching bulbouse area of pronotum; punctures subumbilicate, just slightly larger than punctures on head, separated by about 1 diameter on average, some closer, some further, tending to form rows of punctures, interspaces relatively dull and microreticulate. Hypomeron testaceous to light brown, punctures subumbilicate, seperated by less than a diameter medially, nearly touching anteriorly, and further apart near impunctate posterior one-third, interspaces relatively dull to moderately shining and microreticulate. Prosternum testaceous to light brown, punctures subumbilicate, separated by less than a diameter of a puncture, closer laterally, almost touching, larger than punctures on metaventrite and hypomeron, interspaces relatively dull to moderately shining and microreticulate. Metaventrite light brown to brown, punctation simple, dense, separated by less than a diameter of a puncture, interspaces moderately shining and microreticulate. Scutellum subpentagonal, flat, moderately elongate, about twice as long as broad, slightly inclined, anterior edge slightly curved, surface testaceous to light brown, edges piceous, microreticulate, and feebly punctate at most. Elytra with simple, evenly spaced punctures, separated by 1-2 diameters of a puncture, interspaces moderately shining and microreticulate, color testaceous to light brown, rarely brown, often with a subtle dark, triangular spot around scutellum, often also with a subtle dark band at midlength, these marks can be so subtle that the elytra appears unicolorous. Legs yellow to light brown, often contrasting metaventrite and abdomen, although it is not uncommon to not contrast one or both.
