dark brown with anterior part of clypeus (in particular above antennal cavity) and a transverse broad marking on vertex reddish brown; these lighter parts only diffusely delimited. Interocular distance about same as half of pronotal width at posterior angles. Clypeus with two longitudinal grooves behind anterior margin; these grooves rather flat and mainly apparent by distinct and dense punctation. Entire surface microreticulate with polygonal meshes, these more transverse near anterior margin of clypeus and on vertex. Punctures behind anterior margin of clypeus rather small and sparse; between clypeal grooves and on frons larger and denser, here their diameter equalling that of meshes; before vertex with some smaller punctures; vertex impunctate; beside inner margin of eyes with impressed puncture lines and meshes of reticulation replaced by small longitudinal wrinkles. Setae on head very indistinct, with only a very few in clypeal grooves and near margin of eyes.

Maximum width of pronotum between posterior angles; sides converging from posterior towards anterior angles, more or less evenly and slightly curved over entire length. Between disc and posterior margin distinctly depressed over about half of pronotal width, thus, disc appearing rather vaulted. Surface rather uniformly microreticulated, meshes more or less of same diameter as on head; only near anterior margin meshes more transverse. Near anterior margin unpunctured, behind without punctured line but with irregularly placed rather large punctures (larger than on clypeus); diameter larger than that of meshes, distance between puncture equalling one or at most two diameters of punctures; before posterior margin punctation similar. On disc and also more laterally with similar punctures, but punctation sparser, distance between punctures three to four times that of their diameter. Sublaterally punctures smaller, denser and near posterior angles somewhat longitudinally deformed. Except on disc most punctures with a transparent yellowish, very distinct and rather long (up to

In dorsal view sides of elytra almost evenly curved, only short before apex stronger curved, here not pointed. In lateral view elytral margin slightly ascending towards humeral angle; epipleuron visible until humeral angle. Elytral bead more or less as thin as pronotal bead, in lateral view both forming an angle at bases of pronotum and elytra. Reticulation on elytra more or less uniform, similar to that on pronotum. Punctures on elytra rather evenly distributed, somewhat larger and denser than on disc of pronotum. Elytral puncture lines absent. Setation in anterior central half less distinct (possibly rubbed off), but on rest of elytral surface very conspicuous, similar to that on pronotum.
