 base, sometimes connected to suture; subhumeral and 



scutellar spot occasionally connected forming band; central 



and lateral spots similar shape and pattern as subhumeral 



and scutellar spots; apical spot free, at apical third of 



elytra, arched anteriorly toward suture; suture with apical 



mark. Venter black, lateral prosternum and pronotal 



epipleuron orange. Appendages black; palpi, tarsi, and base 



of antennae brown. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 2.5 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching 0.5 distance to anterior angle of 

 eye, weakly continued forward; vertex puncture size = 0.75 x 

 facet, separated by 2 to 3 diameters; epistome puncture size 

 = 0.5 x facet, nearly coalescing. Antenna reaching base of 

 pronotum; antennomere III as long as next 3 antennomere 

 combined; antennomeres IX to XI symmetrical; antennomere XI 

 subcircular, narrower than antennomere X (similar to Fig. 

 61) . 



Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, sides 

 rounded, lateral angle acute, medial angle nearly 90°, width 

 = 2.5 x length. Labial palp terminal segment triangular, 

 extended medially, sides rounded, angles nearly 90°, length 

 = 0.6 x width. Labial palp width = 0.5 x maxillary palp 

 width (similar to Fig. 7o) . Mentum with plate broadly 

 triangular, length = 0.5 x width, sides concave (similar to 

 Fig. 8h) ; ridge medial extension short, blunt, projecting. 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 0.75 x facet, separated 

 by 1 to 2 diameters; laterally puncture size = 1 x facet,
