); sides of elytra evenly rounded; maximum width near midlength of elytra. Pronotum widest at base, here slightly broader than elytra at shoulders; thus body outline with weak discontinuity at shoulders. Dorsal surface brownish yellow to large extent with large brownish dots on pronotum and very indistinct vittae on elytra; surface appearing silky shining, almost matt due to dense punctation and/or reticulation. Ventral surface black to large extent, rather shiny in part; appendages brownish yellow.
