Clypeus punctured, but not strongly or closely, its apex 

 slightly bent inwardly. Scutellum opaque, closely and 

 uniformly punctured, more strongly than the mesonotum. 

 Metanotum closely punctured (except in the centre at the 

 base) ; areola longer than broad and of nearly equal width ; 

 the teeth broad, large, rounded, and narrowed at the apex. 

 Propleuiae have a plumbeous hue and are irregularly striated 

 at the apex ; the meso- closely, the metapleurae if anything 

 still more closely, punctured, the punctuation running into
