. Dark reddish-brown with legs more reddish; antennae and palpi reddish; setation pale. Body (including dorsal surface of head but not labroclypeus) is almost completely covered with microscopical velvety pubescence. Antennae 9-segmented, club 3-lamellate. Labroclypeus broadly concave anteriorly, its lateral margins strongly bisinuate in both dorsal and lateral views; anterolateral angles small and pointed, triangular, weakly reflexed; canthus angulate. Dorsal surface of labroclypeus coarsely punctured, punctures deep, annular, with dense microscopical velvety pubescence; intervening spaces variable, smooth and glossy. Canthus is tightly covered with dense microscopical pubescence, with few moderately long erect setae. Underside of labroclypeus rather densely setose. Frons flat; punctures similar to those on labroclypeus, but much densely arranged; intervening spaces very narrow; setae erect to semi-erect, short, commensurable with diameter of punctures. Pronotum transverse with anterior margin concave and bisinuate; anterolateral angles acute; sides of pronotum broadly rounded in anterior two-thirds and deeply concave in posterior third; basal margin strongly convex; posterolateral angles almost straight. Lateral margins of pronotum crenulate, with about 20 poorly expressed crenulae, better developed along middle widest part of pronotum; a very short seta (often worn) present between every two crenulae. Pronotal punctures large, annular to hexagonal; intervening spaces very narrow; setation (largely worn) similar to that on head and elytra. Hypomeron separated from prosternum by moderately high emarginate carina bearing long setae; antennal pockets rather deep; punctures large, annular; intervening spaces generally smaller than punctures; setae moderately long in anterior half, becoming short, not surpassing diameter of puncture in posterior half. Scutellar shield apically rounded, with dense and rather coarse annular puncturation; setae probably worn. Elytra weakly widened posteriad, broadly rounded apically, with four weak longitudinal carinae splitting to a series of sparsely sitting granules (two rows between sutural margin and humeral umbo, third row running from humerus toward apical umbo, fourth one extending forward from apical umbo along lateral margin of elytron); sutural joint not elevated. Punctures of elytral disc narrow, incision-shaped; intervening spaces generally smaller than length of punctures; setae adpressed to semi-erect, not or hardly surpassing length of corresponding punctures. Pygidium flat, with shallow annular punctures; intervening spaces very narrow; setae semi-erect, similar to those on elytra. Thorax and abdominal ventrites with small and shallow annular punctures; intervening spaces smaller than diameter of punctures; setae adpressed, generally exceeding diameter of punctures in length on thorax and not surpassing it on abdominal ventrites. Ventral profile of abdomen slightly convex. Protibia (
