 scales, densest on the basal and apical, and forming three lines on 

 the intermediates; legs — especially tibige — densely scaly. Head 

 with short dark seta?, becoming setose hairs on rostrum; prothorax 

 setose, the setne short and dark on the disk, pale and elongate at 

 the sides; elytra sparsely setose. Densely and very minutely
