Parascutellar striole and striae moderately impressed, wide; striole short, not joining stria 1; striae 1-6 reaching basal bead, 7 reduced before. Following aberration exists in two specimens, striae 3 and 4 posteriorly, each of them fusing separately with stria 2 and joined stria reaches lateral gutter, otherwise striae posteriorly as in subgeneric description. Interval 3 with three or two minute discal setiferous punctures situated as follows: anterior puncture (in most specimens missing on one or both elytron) adjoining stria 2, in middle of interval 3 or adjoining stria 3, remaining two punctures adjoining stria 2. Umbilicate setiferous series mostly consists of 16 punctures on elytron, rarely with 17 punctures.
