Punctures on clypeus about the size of ommatidia, on frons about twice that size, on the base of frons a little larger, contiguous, rather polygonal than round; surface between punctures micropunctate. Pronotal punctures elliptical, moderately coarse, about twice the size of an ommatidion, spaces equivalent to 1-3 diameters, irregular; on the sides punctures round, finer and spaced by 2-3 times their diameter; between punctures there are numerous micropunctations a little smaller than an ommatidion. Scutellum shining,

a few punctures. Elytral striae shallow on disc, bearing punctures smaller than those on the pronotum; striae eight, ninth and tenth reduced to rows of punctures on anterior one-third. Interstriae flat, on disc densely micropunctate and bearing punctures about the same size as those on striae; on outer interstriae punctures obsolete. Elytral apices weakly produced in line with the second interstria. Spine-like hairs on all striae (Fig. 22B).

Metaventral process narrow, finely carinate in front of median depression; posterolateral angles produced into rounded laminae, posterior angle not raised. First ventrite carinate only between metacoxae, with moderately large, rounded lateral depressions. Fifth ventrite with shallow apical notch, the bottom of which bears two triangular teeth. Lateral margins of abdominal ventrites smooth.</paragraph>

Protarsus of male with first and second tarsomeres strongly thickened, with large adhesive soles, the first about twice as long as the second. Claws weakly arched, angular at base.

Parameres long, parallel-sided, broadly rounded at apices, with a rather short row of hairs which takes up about half of the unencased part of the parameres. Median lobe a little longer than as parameres, subcylindrical, rounded at apex, with long, fine, weakly raised tergal ridge and a rather small, but distinct sternal opening.</paragraph>
