Rounded apicolaterally with shallow, broad apicomedian emargination running approx. 0.15 of length. Anterior margin and sides of apicomedian emargination strongly raised. Prominent ridge present inside lateral and posterior margins of labrum. Surface weakly shining, with shallow, isodiametric microreticulation and medium punctures bearing white decumbent setae. Clypeus weakly shining, with isodiametric microreticulation, meshes smaller and more strongly impressed laterally; with close, coarse punctation, each puncture bearing a white decumbent seta. Frontoclypeal suture strong, arcuate. Frons weakly shining, with isodiametric microreticulation, meshes smaller and more impressed laterally; close, coarse punctures as on clypeus. Anteocellar sulci strong, deeper posteriorly and opening anteriorly close to frontoclypeal suture; strongly microreticulate and punctate, head similarly sculptured between sulci and compound eyes. Ocelli shining, rather flat. Compound eyes relatively large, occupying 0.4 lateral margin of head, 14 ommatidia in longest series.</paragraph>

Anterior margin arcuate over median 0.3, without hyaline border; posterior margin bisinuate around centre. Anterior angles broadly rounded, posterior angles slightly obtuse, prominent. Lateral margins sinuated from widest point to base, broadly marginated and strongly crenulated. Surface weakly shining, with strong isodiametric microreticulation throughout and moderate to close, coarse punctures. Punctures deeper close to anterior and posterior margins. Punctures on disc bearing white decumbent setae of varying length, those on lateral areas with either long, white recumbent setae or short, white peg-like setae. Microreticulation strongest close to lateral margins, rugulose. With 10 distinct foveae as follows: Anterior median fovea elongate, deepest in centre; posterior median fovea shallow, rounded. Anterior admedian foveae shallow, transverse, opening laterally; posterior admedian foveae short, oval, orientated anteriolaterally. Anterior and posterior adlateral foveae small, rounded, pit-like.</paragraph>

Punctures of elytral series evident to apex; series striate impressed, particularly on disc, less so posteriorly. Serial punctures shallow, with white decumbent setae just reaching next puncture in row. Intervals with irregular row of punctures bearing long, white recumbent-decumbent setae.
