group species with setal formula 2202, this is the only one with a pronotum that is evenly narrowed basally to the obtuse-rounded hind angles (Fig. 10A). Standardized body length 7.2 mm. Head broad with small eyes; frontal grooves broad, shallow, ill defined mesad eyes, deep and broad only near frontoclypeal suture; antennae elongate, filiform, antennomere 8 length 2.0
<normalizedToken originalValue="×">x</normalizedToken>
breadth; eyes little convex, sharing curvature with broad ocular lobe, ocular ratio 1.36, ocular lobe ratio 0.70. Pronotum subquadrate, moderately transverse, MPW/PL = 1.22; lateral margin moderately constricted before hind angle, MPW/BPW = 1.17; a minute jag at hind angle caused by flat articulatory socket of basal pronotal seta; anterior transverse impression broad, shallow, its outline obscured medially by about eight deep longitudinal strigae each side of midline; lateral margin moderately broad in apical half, broadly explanate and raised before hind angle; laterobasal depression deep, broad and smooth. Elytra broadly quadrate, MEW/HuW = 1.79; striae 1-6 well developed, densely punctate, the punctures expanding the strial breadth, separated along stria by length subequal to their diameter, stria 7 shallower, all striae smooth and complete apically; interval 8 broadly subcarinate, convexly protruded dorsad subapical sinuation; lateral elytral setae 7 + (5-6).

length, the sculpticells more deeply margined at elytral apex. Coloration of forebody rufopiceous, pronotal lateral margins and median base rufobrunneous; antennomeres 1-3 rufoflavous, 4-11 rufobrunneous; elytral disc rufobrunneous, the sutural interval rufous near scutellum, rufoflavous apically; femora rufoflavous, tibiae rufoflavous with brunneous cast.
