Sexes dimorphic. Males have the elytral discal punctures tending more regular internally over smooth-shining interspaces, while females have punctures of the inner basal quadrant of disc confused (note comments below). Four females from Mt Aoupinie/Ponerihouen have the dorsum largely lustrous dark fuscous on smooth-shining surfaces, but the puncturation of the pronotal disc smaller and tending to run in ± longitudinal series between finely raised interspaces; elytron additionally marked with paler orangish discally as a strip running obliquely from humerus to preapex; elytral sculpture of the inner basal quadrant pustulate and smooth-shining with punctures small and obscure instead of normally moderately large and distinct over flattened granulate interspaces; elytral apex appearing broader being accentuated by a projecting tuberculate extremity of an inner interstice overriding actual margin in dorsal view.
