Head with yellowish white hairs, clypeal margin truncate between lateral projections, ocular canthus deep and broad, eyes prominent with anteriorly and posteriorly divergent margins, head 3.24x as wide as an eye, interocular distance 1.29x as wide as an eye, punctures widely spaced, separated by 35 diameters, slightly closer near ocular margins, interspaces between punctures with distinct, strongly reticulate microsculpture. Pronotum anteriorly deeply and trapezoidally excavated, anterolateral corners obtusely and broadly rounded, punctation dense on disc, punctures separated by 24 diameters, slightly closer near posterior margin, interspaces with distinct reticulate microsculpture except around middle of anterior margin with fewer punctures having apparently smooth and shiny interspaces; lateral margins with a narrow gutter. Scutellar shield broad, transverse triangular with a few punctures. Elytra explanate with a marginal gutter, punctation on disc similar to that on pronotum, slightly more deeply impressed, separated by 25 diameters, interspaces having distinct, reticulate microsculpture, punctures coarser and more widely spaced on lateral margins, closer towards apices. Prothoracic hypomeron deeply foveolate on anterior inner corner; prosternal process medially narrower, apically broadened and rounded, with a pair of carinae. Mesoventrite anteriorly deeply triangularly emarginate, with a longitudinal median ridge reaching up to two-thirds of its length. Metaventrite with a complete discrimen.
