 a strong bristle arising from each tubercle, joints 5-7 with 

 some bristles at apex; juint 2 = 5, 4 a little longer, 3 twice

 not very conspicuously punctate, intervals slightly convex*; 

 three large punctures on interval 4, at a fourth, a half, and 

 tliree-fourths from base, two similar punctures on interval 7
