 medially, length = width. Labial palp width = 0.5 x 



maxillary palp width (Fig. 7p) . Mentum with plate 



triangular, length = width, all sides nearly equal in 



length, sides straight; ridge rounded anteriorly, without 



medial extension; lateral pores well removed from base (Fig. 



8j) . 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 0.5 x facet, separated by 

 2 to 3 diameters; lateral puncture size = 1 x facet, 

 separated 1 to 2 diameters. Scutellum pentagonal, length = 

 0.5 x width. Each elytron with 7 complete striae; stria 

 VIII nearly complete but indistinct at ends, visible at 

 middle; strial puncture size at base = lateral pronotal disc 

 puncture, impressed, gradually becoming finer posteriorly; 

 intervals finely punctate. 



Prosternum keeled and strongly pinched anteriorly, 

 swollen above pinch; lateral prosternum-pronotum epipleural 

 suture deep, groove-like; with (female) or without (male) 

 foveate punctures in front of procoxa; coxal lines sinuate, 

 slightly concave at middle, length = 0.6 x sternal length, 

 lines surpassing coxae, length greater than or equal to 

 basal width; prosternal plate narrowed anteriorly, slightly 

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

 concave . 



Mesosternum basal width = 3 x mesocoxal line length; 

 coxal lines straight, parallel; base truncate to weakly 

 sinuate. Metasternum coxal lines meeting at middle, often 

 indistinct, not recurved; coxal lines extend 0.5 distance to
