Lateral margins slightly rounded, with wide border; anterior margin not bordered at middle; posterior margin bisinuate. Posterolateral angles nearly rectangular. Pronotal punctation fine and sparse, distance between punctures equal to 23× their diameters. Length of prosternum equal to longitudinal eye length. Prosternum laterally strongly punctured, short setose; with several small carinae. Prosternal process not visible due to the structure of the amber. Procoxal cavities not visible due to the structure of the amber. Mesoventrite moderately sparsely punctate with punctures of various sizes, with short to moderately long setae. Metaventrite slightly convex in ventral aspect, with large, sparse punctures, distance between punctures equal to 24× their diameters.
