Abdominal sternites finely and densely punctate and setose, each sternite with an indistinct transverse row of coarse punctures each bearing a short, robust seta. Mesosternum between mesocoxae slightly wider than mesofemur, with numerous strong setae on an indistinct semi-circular carina. Ratio of length of metepisternum/ metacoxa: 1/1.62.
