Labroclypeus little wider than long, widest at base, lateral margins convex and convergent to moderately rounded anterior angles; anterior margin distinctly and widely emarginate medially, margins weakly reflexed; lateral margins and ocular canthus produce a blunt angle; surface shiny, strongly convex, coarsely and densely punctate, with a few long, erect setae anteriorly; frontoclypeal indistinctly incised, curved. Frons with moderately dense, coarse punctures, with a few long setae beside eyes and at middle behind frontoclypeal suture, otherwise glabrous. Smooth area in front of eyes strongly convex, as wide as long. Ocular canthus wide and short (1/3 of ocular width), densely coarsely punctate, without terminal seta. Eyes very small, ratio of diameter/interocular width: 0.4. Antenna with ten antennomeres; club composed of four antennomeres, straight, 1.1 times as long as remaining antennomeres combined.
