 scutellar and central spots, respectively. Venter black, 



lateral prothorax occasionally orange. Appendages black; 



tarsi, palpi, and antennal base brown. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 2.5 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching 0.5 distance to anterior angle of 

 eye, continue weakly forward as a row of punctures; vertex 

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

 length = 0.5 x width. Labial palp terminal segment 

 triangular, extended medially, sides rounded, angles nearly 

 90°, length = 0.8 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. 8e) ; ridge medial extension short, 

 acutely rounded. 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 1 x facet, separated by 1 

 to 2 diameters. Scutellum pentagonal, length = 0.5 x width. 

 Each elytron with 7 complete striae; stria VIII present at 

 base and apical half, often obscured by interval punctation; 

 strial puncture size at base = 2 x pronotal disc punctures,
