In keeping with the larger eyes, the posterior portion of the ocular lobe joins the gena at nearly a right angle in this species, with a shallow groove at the juncture of lobe and gena. The pronotal median base is covered with distinct punctures, and longitudinal wrinkles line the juncture with the disc; the anterior transverse impression is deep, narrow, and crossed by deep wrinkles, its posterior surface lined with isodiametric microsculpture. The pronotum is variably transverse, MPW/PL = 1.20-1.28, with variably moderate basal constriction, MPW/BPW = 1.34-1.50. The parascutellar striole is distinctly 5-punctate, and striae 1-6 are distinctly punctate basally, and slightly irregular to smooth apically. The elytral disc is rufobrunneous, often with a purplish reflection due to the transverse-mesh to transverse-line microsculpture covering the intervals.</paragraph>
