ridge medial extension acute (similar to Fig. 8a) . 



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

 to 3 diameters; laterally separated by 0.5 to 1.0 diameter. 

 Scutellum pentagonal, length = 0.5 x width. Each elytron 

 with 7 complete striae; stria VIII present on apical half; 

 strial punctures at base = 2 x pronotal disc punctures, 

 gradually becoming finer posteriorly; intervals finely 

 punctate, obscured by microreticulations . 



Prosternum keeled and pinched anteriorly; with (female) 

 or without (male) foveate punctures in front of procoxa; 

 coxal lines straight, length = 0.5 x sternal length, lines 

 barely surpassing coxae, length = basal width; prosternal 

 plate slightly convex, apical width = 0.5 to 0.6 x basal 

 width; base concave. 



Mesosternum basal width = 2 x mesocoxal line length; 

 coxal lines straight; base sinuate. Metasternum coxal lines 

 not meeting at middle, recurved; coxal lines extend 0.33 

 distance to posterior lateral angle; line behind mesocoxa 

 deep groove; sternum shining, medial punctures fine, few 

 coarse lateral punctures. 



First visible abdominal sternite with coxal lines 

 reaching 0.5 distance to posterior edge; rounded between 

 metacoxae; coarse punctures laterally, fine punctures 

 medially .
