). Head: antennae robust; antennomeres 9–11 forming a distinct club; eyes large; surface densely but shallowly and finely granulate–punctate, rather densely set with relatively long, suberect and erect setae, these arrayed in a whorled pattern, pale orange on frons, deepening to orange, and more thickly arrayed, posteriorly. Pronotum: about as broad as long, narrower than elytra at base; anterior margin slightly arcuate; sides rounded; collar not particularly broad; transverse impression rather shallow, broadly U–shaped at middle; posterior slope precipitous; surface rather finely, densely granulate–punctate, and irregularly, transversely rugulose; anterior 1/4 densely set with moderately long, suberect and erect, anteriorly oriented orange setae; middle with a broad transverse band of somewhat less densely arranged robust, suberect and erect black setae of various lengths; posterior 1/4 with a dense triangulate band of erect and suberect orange setae; sides more sparsely clothed with long, erect, white setae. Elytra: ratio of length to width 17:10, widest at about middle, rather deep in cross section; humeri rounded; sides slightly inflexed before anterior 1/3, then slightly expanded to middle, posterior to which they very gradually, arcuately converge to separately rounded, dehiscent apices; subbasal tumescences shallow, rounded above; disk subflattened above; apical slope moderate; surface of anterior 3/4 moderately coarsely, moderately densely and deeply punctate; integument at orange median fascia also bearing scattered dark, deep, fine punctures; posterior 1/4 very finely granulate–rugulose, without punctures above; anterior dorsum with an inverted triangulate band of mostly reclinate, rather robust white setae, extending from anterior margin well posterior to scutellum, followed posteriorly by a dense but inconspicuous band of erect and suberect black setae of various lengths; middle orange band densely but inconspicuously clothed with fine suberect (and fewer longer, erect and more robust) orange setae, bordered posteriorly by a transverse, hourglass–shaped fascia of black vestiture (composed as on subbasal black band); posterior 1/7 clothed with a triangulate fascia of reclinate, rather densely set, ashy pubescence, incomplete at apices, which are darkly setose. Mesosternum: surface densely covered with long silvery setae; posterior median process only slightly elevated. Metasternum: densely, finely rugulose, vested as on mesosternum; anterior median process sulcate, not elevated at apex. Abdomen: coarsely, shallowly punctate–granulate, rather sparsely clothed with silvery setae; visible sternite 5 shallowly, arcuately emarginate posteriorly; visible sternite 6 short, subtruncate at apex; visible sternite 6 slightly emarginate at middle of posterior margin; setal daggers absent. Legs: robust.
