There are no differences of importance between these species in the sculpture of the vertex (compare Figs 5 and 11), as both species possess a strong median groove with a deep groove to each side, with each of these lateral grooves containing multiple elongate punctures. There are also no differences of importance in the shape and delimitation of the clypeus, both species have the base slightly raised and evenly rounded to its lateral corners that do not project outward. Both species also possess an elytral ground-plan of eight punctate striae on each elytron.
