7b) . Mentum with plate broadly triangular, length = 0.6 x 



width, sides straight, ridge medial extension acutely 

 pointed (similar to Fig. 8d) . 



Pronotal puncture size = 1 x facet, separated by 1 to 2 

 diameters; punctures smaller and denser at extreme lateral 

 edge. Scutellum pentagonal, length = 0.75 x width. Each 

 elytron with 7 complete striae; stria VIII weak, visible on 

 apical half; strial puncture size = 2 x pronotal disc 

 punctures, gradually decreasing in size posteriorly; 

 intervals finely punctate. 



Prosternum keeled and pinched anteriorly; with (female) 

 or without (male) foveate punctures in front of procoxa; 

 coxal lines straight, length = 0.5 x sternal length, lines 

 surpassing coxae, length = basal width; prosternal plate 

 flat, apical width = 0.6 x basal width; base shallowly 

 concave . 



Mesosternum basal width = 2.5 x mesocoxal line length; 

 coxal lines straight; base sinuate, lobed medially. 

 Metasternum coxal lines not meeting at middle; coxal lines 

 extend 0.5 distance to posterior lateral angle; sternum with 

 medial punctures fine, few coarse lateral punctures 

 separated by 2 to 3 diameters. 



First visible abdominal sternite with coxal lines 

 reaching 0.5 distance to posterior edge; rounded between 

 metacoxae; coarse punctures laterally, fine punctures 

 medially.
