Thorax small, ovally rounded in front, minutely and indistinctly punctured, with 

 the interstices smooth and shining, rufescent, with the disc infuscate, anterior 

 margin rather broadly reflexed, pellucid, basal margin faintly sinuated, with 

 the angles obtuse. 



Scutellutn broad and rounded. 



Elytra much broader and more than twice longer than the thorax, widest before the
