Pubescence long, brown, with yellowish shade depending on illumination, of two distinct types: erect series on sides, slightly recumbent series on disc; erect series longer and denser; disc series shorter, sparse. Scutellum subtriangular, with few punctures and pubescence similar to surrounding area of elytra. Metathoracic wings well developed. Epipleura almost flat.
