Frons between eyes shining, sparsely punctate, narrower than half the length of the first antennal joint in males, almost as broad in females; in front of the eyes distinctly depressed and slightly rugose. Clypeus almost trapezoidal, wider than long and slightly convex, with a few coarse punctures bearing black setae. Labrum about as long as wide, flat and more coarsely punctate than the head (except clypeus), with some moderately long blackish hairs.

antennae surpassing the first third of the elytra in length, longer than in any of the related species. First three segments subfiliform, segments 45 slightly widened and flattened, 610 of subtriangular shape, very strongly flattened and widened. Last segment robust, not conspicuously widened, large and strongly emarginate. First segment long, second very short, only about third as long, third segment again long, almost like the first, the following segments gradually decreasing in length and increasing in width, the last segment longest, slightly longer than the first. Female antennae very much shorter, hardly reaching the shoulders of the elytra; all segments much smaller than in males, but of similar shape; second segment about half as long as the first; third longest; last one slightly shorter than the first.
