. Specimen is damaged as follows: metathoracic legs are missing except coxae and trochanters; left antenna is damaged, missing part of antennomere 8, completely missing antennomeres 9–11. One important character in particular, the prosternal process between coxae, is not visible due to position of pro­ and mesothoracic legs. Elytral punctation can be inferred from ventral view due to open elytra which are semi­translucent.
