 angle of eye; vertex and epistome puncture size = 1 x facet, 



separated by 0.5 to 1.0 diameters. Antenna reaching base of 



pronotum; antennomere III as long as next 2 antennomere 



combined; antennomeres IX to XI symmetrical; antennomere 



VIII elongate triangular, longer than wide; antennomere IX 



triangular, as long as wide; antennomere XI oval, 



transverse, as wide as antennomere X (Fig. 6k) . 



Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, securiform, 

 basally rounded, apical angles nearly 90°, length = 0.66 x 

 width. Labial palp terminal segment elongate, extended on 

 medial side, rounded basally, length = 0.5 x width. Labial 

 palp width = maxillary palp width (Fig. 7n) . Mentum with 

 plate triangular, length = 0.75 x width, sides concave, 

 apical angle rounded; ridge with medial extension 

 projecting, blunt (similar to Fig. 8h) . 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 1 x facet, separated by 

 0.5 to 1.0 diameter. Scutellum pentagonal, length = 0.6 x 

 width. Each elytron with 8 striae, stria IX visible on 

 apical half; strial puncture size = pronotal disc puncture; 

 intervals finely punctate, obscured by microreticulations . 



Prosternum convex, lacking pinched anterior margin; 

 deep pit-like groove with few enclosed setae in front of 

 procoxa (Fig. 9b), pit as long as procoxa; coxal lines 

 straight, length = 0.4 x sternal length, lines not 

 surpassing coxae, length = 0.75 x basal width; prosternal 

 plate flat, apical width = 0.5 x basal width; base shallowly 

 concave.
