<paragraph pageId="102" pageNumber="103">Head: Pale ferrugineous to ferrugineous; lacks distinct colour pattern. Rather shiny, although finely microsculptured; reticulation double. Large meshes only slightly more strongly developed than small meshes. Large meshes contain 2-5 small meshes. Impunctate, except at eyes; with fine, irregular punctures. Area of punctures extends towards disc-middle, still leaving a considerable impunctate area in middle of head.</paragraph>

<paragraph pageId="102" pageNumber="103">Pronotum: Pale ferrugineous to ferrugineous; lacks distinct colour pattern. Rather shiny, although finely microsculptured; reticulation double. Large meshes only slightly more strongly developed than small meshes. Large meshes contain 2-5 small meshes. Smaller meshes, in part, rather indistinct. Impunctate, except frontally and laterally; with fine, irregular punctures.</paragraph>

<paragraph pageId="102" pageNumber="103">Elytra: Pale ferrugineous, with somewhat vague, dark ferrugineous irrorations, which often disappear at base of elytra (Fig. 423). Rather shiny, although finely microsculptured. Large meshes only slightly more strongly developed than small meshes. Large meshes contain 2-5 small meshes. Laterally and posteriorly size-categories of microsculpture disappear. Fine, somewhat irregular punctures form a clearly discernible discal row of punctures. Dorsolateral and lateral rows of punctures indistinct; simply indicated by a few, fine and scattered punctures. Pre-apical, lateral row of punctures form a shallow by discernible, pubescent furrow.</paragraph>

<paragraph pageId="102" pageNumber="103">Ventral aspect: Pale ferrugineous to ferrugineous; without distinct colour pattern. Rather shiny, although very finely microsculptured; microsculpture in part indistinct. Ventrites with very fine, slightly indistinct, curved striae. Metacoxal plates with a number of rudimentary, transverse furrows. Lateral impression of metacoxal plates moderately deep. Furrows weakly developed, in part indistinct. Impunctate, except apical ventrite, with some fine, scattered punctures and an asymmetric minute knob locate on one side of the ventrite (Fig. 75). Prosternal process slender, posteriorly somewhat extended; apex pointed.</paragraph>
