Frontoclypeal suture distinct, weakly arcuate. Clypeus, frons and vertex shining, with sparse, medium punctures bearing long, fine, adpressed setae, Microreticulation restricted to lateral border of clypeus and frons between interocular foveae and compound eyes, where it is elongate, and along posterior margin of vertex and occiput where it is transverse. Ocelli indistinct, shining, each located at the base of shallow, oblique interocular fovea, which extend forward to frontoclypeal suture. Compound eyes relatively small; eight ommatidia in longest series. Maxillary palpi moderately long, last palpomere elongate, widened slightly subbasally, then narrowed basally on anterior surface.

Anterior margin broadly arcuate; median 0.25 with distinct hyaline border; posterior margin weakly bisinuate around centre; lateral margins weakly attenuated and sinuate behind widest point, anteriorly arcuate to anterior angles; in lateral view appearing thickened, with upper and lower rim. Anterior angles broadly rounded, posterior angles weakly obtuseangulate. Anterior and posterior impressions very shallow, almost obsolete, relatively straight. Without impression at posterior angles. Surface strongly shining, especially on disc, microreticulation absent. Entire surface punctate, each puncture with anterior margin extended posteriorly as narrow ridge, apparently dividing puncture into a pair of two smaller punctures; long, fine, recumbent setae arising from posterior extreme of dividing ridge. Punctures denser towards lateral margins, less so along anterior and posterior margins, very sparse to absent on disc, where sparse micropunctures are also visible.
