palp width = 0.5 x maxillary palp width (Fig. 7a) . Mentum 



with plate triangular, length = 0.75 x width, apical sides 

 straight or outwardly curved, ridge medial extension blunt 

 (Fig. 8a) . 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 0.5 to 0.75 x facet, 

 separated by 1 to 3 diameters; lateral punctures smaller and 

 denser, separated by 1 to 2 diameters. Scutellum 

 pentagonal, length = 0.5 x width. Each elytron with 7 

 complete striae; stria VIII weak or absent, indicated by few 

 fine punctures at base; strial puncture size = pronotal disc 

 punctures; intervals finely punctate. 



Prosternum weakly keeled and pinched anteriorly; with 

 few obscure foveate punctures in front of procoxa; coxal 

 lines straight, length = 0.5 x sternal length, barely 

 surpassing coxae, line length = 0.8 x basal width; 

 prosternal plate flat, apical width = 0.5 x basal width; 

 base shallowly concave. 



Mesosternum basal width = 2 x mesocoxal line length; 

 coxal lines divergent anteriorly; base sinuate, lobed 

 medially. Metasternum coxal lines recurved, meeting 

 medially in a tooth (Fig. 15e) ; coxal line extends 0.5 

 distance to posterior lateral angle; sternum with medial 

 punctures fine, few scattered coarse lateral punctures. 



First visible abdominal sternite with coxal lines 

 reaching 0.5 to posterior edge; broadly rounded between 

 metacoxae, almost truncate; coarse lateral punctures, fine 

 medially.
