towards midline, deeper towards lateral margins where punctures are much larger and open posteriolaterally. Punctures towards lateral margins often confluent, appearing as lowered, heavily microreticulate areas. Pronotal postocular impression shallow. Setae on pronotal reliefs long and transparent, adpressed against the surface, and orientated antero-posteriorly, reaching back at least to the anterior margin of next puncture, and at least 45 puncture diameters in length. Wings full-length.

Shining and lacking microreticulation. Setae of series and intervals equally developed, resulting in about 20 discrete linear rows on each elytron. Setae granule-based, transparent, whitish and closely adpressed to elytral surface; relatively long, reaching back to insertion point of next seta in each row. Serial punctures moderately large, shallow and slightly narrower than intervals. Elytra with narrow explanate margin. Very weak saddle in middle of elytra ca. 1/3 from base.
