Abdominal ventrites I–V weakly carinate laterally. Abdominal ventrites with moderately dense punctures, becoming denser laterally, the punctures are as large as those on metaventrite; ventrite VI with punctures on posterior half only. Each puncture with a moderately long seta, each puncture on lateral portions of each ventrite with a large and lanceolate scaly seta, the scaly setae are more elongated on ventrite V, ventrite VI with a row of moderately dense setae along posterior margin. Pygidium weakly convex, surface with dense and large punctures; each puncture with a large and oblanceolate scaly seta, posterior margin a row of long setae.
