The broad head is based on a broad head capsule as the eyes are small, ocular lobe ratio = 0.70-0.81, and not very convex, ocular ratio = 1.30-1.39. The pronotal median base is smooth, with the small punctures isolated by areas of granulate isodiametric microsculpture. The laterobasal pronotal depressions are also smooth, shallow, with a broad median tubercle. Microsculpture across the body is well developed, with: 1, vertex, and pronotal disc and base with granulate isodiametric sculpticells, the surface appearing dull; 2, elytral disc and apex with isodiametric sculpticells; 3, metasternum covered with an upraised transverse mesh; and 4, basal abdominal ventrites with lateral areas covered with swirling isodiametric and transverse sculpticells.</paragraph>
