Labroclypeus moderately wide and subtrapezoidal, widest at base, lateral margins nearly straight, convergent anteriorly, anterior angles moderately rounded, anterior margin bluntly sinuate medially, margins moderately reflexed; lateral margin and ocular canthus produce an indistinct angle; surface convexly elevated, with a sharp and long longitudinal carina from anterior margin to frontoclypeal suture, finely, densely punctate, anteriorly with large punctures each bearing an erect seta; frontoclypeal suture distinctly incised and elevated, moderately curved; smooth area anterior to eye convex, twice as wide as long; ocular canthus short and narrow (⅓ of ocular diameter), finely densely punctate, with one terminal seta. Frons dull, with dense, fine punctures, with a few single short setae beside eyes. Eyes large, ratio of diameter/interocular width: 0.88. Antenna with ten antennomeres; club with three antennomeres and straight, slightly longer than remaining antennomeres combined. Mentum elevated and slightly flattened anteriorly.</paragraph>
