Labrum set beneath margin of clypeus, transverse, with semicircular apicomedian emargination. Anterior and lateral margins evenly rounded, strongly raised and inflexed anterodorsally, with dense erect setae, longer laterally. Clypeus with front angles produced and raised, particularly laterally; front margin arcuate, with stout recurved yellow setae. Dorsal surface dull, granulate, with scattered, curved, yellow setae. Frontoclypeal suture arcuate, weakly impressed. Frons and vertex shining, with dense, strongly raised large granules, particularly interior to compound eyes; with very sparse, curved, yellow setae; setae stouter longer and much denser in front of and around interior margins of eyes. Ocelli indistinct, resembling granules, in posterior part of vertex.

Posterior angles obtuse. Anterior margin broadly sinuate in middle half, then strongly curved forwards to front angles; posterior margin sinuate around acuminate middle. Median longitudinal furrow of disc moderate, somewhat interrupted in middle; deeper anteriorly and posteriorly, with large, sparse granules in deeper areas. Anterior admedian fovea shallow, deeper anterolaterally and here granulate. Posterior admedian fovea deeper than anterior, with large granules. Anterior adlateral fovea shallow and open laterally, granulate; posterior adlateral fovea deeper, opening laterally to pronotal margin, granulate. Dorsal surface of pronotum shining, without microreticulation, granules restricted to setose ridges between foveal areas.

Sides of elytra granulate, granules spaced 0.5–1 granule’s width apart, and bearing long, posteriorly recurved, yellow setae. Elytra shining, with some intervals bearing low costae, all costae with rows of long, golden posteriorly recurved setae. Costae most strongly raised on intervals 2 and 4; less so on intervals 5 and 6. Second elytral interval costate in 3 sections. Interval 4 costate in 4 sections. Costae lower posteriorly, but row of setae reaching elytral apex. Interval 5 with setae below shoulder and between costae 2 and 3 of interval 4, overlapping with these costae somewhat. Interval 6 with two weak costae. Interval 7 raised from just behind shoulder to just before apical narrowing of elytra, with row of shorter, yellow, recumbent. Intervals 1 and 3 flat; 3 with short row of similar granules and setae just behind middle.

Shining, with very weak, almost obsolete remnants of microreticulation outside depressions; with stout, erect setae at front angles, along raised margins and posteriorly around depressions. Submentum triangular, shining, without microreticulation; with stout, erect setae as mentum. Prosternum with very low median ridge anterior to procoxae; dull, with scale-like vestiture. Pronotal hypomera very broad, dull, with granulate reticulation and stout, recumbent outwardly-directed setae. Elytral epipleura and pseudepipleura dull; pseudepipleura broad, especially around anterior 1/3, but continued to close to apex. Epipleura continued to apex, but narrowing in posterior 1/4; surface minutely granulate, with a row of shallow depressions. Pseudepipleura granulate, with row of stout, semi-erect setae close to outer margin of epipleura. Mesoventrite dull, granulate, with microscopic scale-like vestiture; raised into small projection between mesocoxae. Metaventrite shining in centre, dull at sides, where surface is minutely reticulate. With shallow elongately oval central depression occupying posterior half of ventrite; depression staggered, deeper in centre. Area around and in front of depression with sparse, shallow, medium punctures, each bearing a long, stout decumbent to recumbent seta. Dull sides of metaventrite with sparse but very coarse, shallow punctures, bearing similar setae. Anterior margins of metaventrite with raised, narrow, arcuate carinae, fringing mesocoxae; centre below posterior junction of mesocoxae with shallow depression in shape of inverted V. Posterior edges of metaventrite, immediately in front of metacoxae, with scale-like vestiture.Abdominal ventrite 1 with strong, curved carina behind each coxa. Abdominal ventrites 1–6 weakly shining, with weak granulate microreticulation; surface increasingly rugose towards margins.

Complex in structure; membranous process minutely spinose, large, expandable; parameres sinuate, joined near base of main piece, reaching proximal part of expanded apical portion of main piece, tipped with long, straight setae; main piece with complex internal sclerotizations, including an internal sclerotised plate occupying the entire lumen and supplied with musculature proximally – presumably constituting part of a pumping mechanism.
