Small, triangular area below antennae without eye facets. Antennal tubercle broader than high, shiny, flat below, with rounded tip extending to base of antennal segment 3; with several scattered long setae. Ocelli brown, on small, raised triangle; median ocellus absent; lateral ocelli large, oval, 2 times wider than long, not touching eye margin. Vertical depression and surrounding ridge faintly rugose.

Strongly arched, with three narrow longitudinal grooves, the medial one short and shallow, starting after the postpronotal lobes and stopping in line with the wings, the lateral grooves running from just behind the postpronotal lobes to in line with the postalar calli. Scutellum brown centrally, with two yellow maculae medio-laterally and dark brown laterally; with dark brown posterior border. Postpronotal lobes mostly yellowish-white, contiguous for about as long as length of ocellar triangle, brown on medial part of the posterior border.
