Sides of apicomedian emargination very weakly raised. Surface of labrum shining, with distinct, weakly transverse - isodiametric microreticulation and with sparse, medium punctures, each bearing a long decumbent seta. Entire upper surface of head weakly shining, with strong isodiametric microreticulation and sparse coarse to medium punctures, some of which bear long decumbent setae. Punctures densest on clypeus and central parts of frons and vertex, more widely spaced elsewhere, and somewhat obsolete around inner margins of eyes. Fronto-clypeal suture strong, well impressed. Oblique sublateral impressions strong, deeper posteriorly, shallower anteriorly. Ocelli broad and flat, paler than rest of head. Eyes large, occupying almost 0.5 side of head; facets relatively flat.

Anterior margin straight, slightly indented in median third, where there is a trace of a narrow hyaline border. Anterior angles obtusely rounded. Sides rounded, broadest just in front of middle, gradually narrowing in an almost straight line to obtuse posterior angles. Sides distinctly crenulate, especially in posterior 0.5. Pronotum with fine, weakly impressed isodiametric microreticulation, somewhat shining. Entire surface punctate, with dense, shallow punctures. Each puncture with anterior margin extended posteriorly as narrow ridge, dividing puncture into a pair of two smaller punctures, most punctures with indistinct, short recumbent or decumbent seta arising from posterior extreme of dividing ridge. Punctures more widely spaced in centre of disc; closer, almost confluent, towards anterior and posterior margins, giving a rugulose appearance; larger and more elongate towards lateral margins.
