 connected to suture at anterior half; central band narrow, 



edges straight, anterior extension short (if present) and 

 rounded, posterior extension nearly reaching apical angle 

 and acutely pointed; together elytral central bands form a 

 T-shaped marking. Venter orange-red. Antennal base orange- 

 red, club black. Legs orange-red. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 4 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching anterior angle of eye; vertex 

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

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

 diameters, flat in profile. Antenna reaching base of 

 pronotum; antennomere III as long as next 3 antennomere 

 combined; antennomeres X to XI symmetrical; antennomere XI 

 subcircular (Fig. 6g) . 



Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, almost 

 circular, basally rounded, apical angles 90°, width = 

 length. Labial palp terminal segment triangular, extended 

 on medial side, length = width. Labial palp width = 0.5 x 

 maxillary palp width (Fig. 7g) . Mentum with plate broadly 

 triangular, length = 0.5 x width, sides inwardly curved, 

 ridge medial extension short and acutely pointed (Fig. 8e) 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 1 x facet, separated 3 to 

 4 diameters; laterally separated 2 to 4 diameters. 

 Scutellum pentagonal, length = 0.5 x width. Each elytron 

 with 7 complete striae; stria VII often weak and obscure; 

 basal strial puncture size = 2 x pronotal disc punctures,
