Ground punctation on pronotum and elytra evenly distributed and moderately fine. Pronotal and elytral surface flat and even, without elevations or grooves. Pronotal systematic punctures similar in size to and blending with surrounding ground punctures and each bearing a short fine setae. Posterolateral corners of pronotum broadly rounded. Sutural punctation on elytra absent or unmodified from ground punctation; sutural interval not raised. Systematic punctures on elytra present and moderately distinct which bear fine, short setae. Margins of elytra set with a few sparse setae, but not a dense fringe. Prosternum with a clearly defined median carina; slightly elevated anteromedially, the elevation set with 2 thickened spine-like setae. Elevated process of mesoventrite narrow and elongate, more than two times as long as wide; with 7 coarse spinelike setae. Metaventrite with narrow oval glabrous area posteromedially, ca. twice as long as wide, length of glabrous area ca. half the length of metaventrite. Procoxae with fine short pubescence and set with coarse, short spine-like setae.
