 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 faint, 



present at base and apical half; strial punctures at base = 



2 pronotal disc punctures, gradually becoming finer 



posteriorly; intervals finely punctate, impressed and 



distinct . 



Prosternum strongly keeled and pinched anteriorly; with 

 or without foveate punctures in front of procoxa, weakly 

 impressed and obscure when present; coxal lines slightly 

 arched or straight, length = 0.6 x sternal length, lines 

 barely surpassing coxae, length = 0.75 x basal width; 

 prosternal plate weakly convex, apical width = basal width; 

 base concave. 



Mesosternum basal width = 3 x mesocoxal line length; 

 coxal lines straight, parallel to divergent anteriorly; base 

 sinuate. Metasternum coxal lines meeting at middle, 

 strongly crenulate or punctured, recurved; coxal lines 

 extend 0.33 to 0.5 distance to posterior lateral angle; 

 sternum with medial punctures fine, impressed; few coarse 

 lateral punctures often obscured by strong 

 microreticulation . 



First visible abdominal sternite with coxal lines 

 short, extending 0.33 to 0.5 distance to posterior margin; 

 broadly rounded between metacoxae; coarse punctures 

 laterally, fine punctures medially.
