third of elytra; microreticulate, dull; body dark brown; 



mouthparts, antennal club and tarsi slightly pale brown 



(Fig. 53) . 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 3 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching 0.7 to 0.8 apical angle of eye; 

 vertex puncture size = 0.5 to 0.75 x facet, separated by 2 

 to 3 diameters; epistome puncture size = 0.5 to 0.75 x 

 facet, separated by 0.5 to 1.0 diameter. Antenna reaching 

 base of pronotum; antennomere III as long as next 2 

 antennomere combined; antennomeres IX to XI symmetrical; 

 antennomere XI oval, transverse (similar to Fig. 6i) . 



Maxillary palp terminal segment semicircular, swollen, 

 sides rounded, apical angles obtuse, length = 0.75 x width. 

 Labial palp terminal segment narrowed, elongate, 

 symmetrical, sides rounded, angles obtuse, width = 0.75 x 

 length. Labial palp width = 0.33 x maxillary palp width 

 (Fig. 7k) . Mentum with plate triangular, length = 0.8 x 

 width, sides nearly equal in length, sides convex, ridge 

 medial extension bluntly pointed (similar to Fig. 8g) . 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 0.5 to 0.75 x facet, 

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

 facet, separated 0.5 to 1.0 diameter. Scutellum pentagonal, 

 length = 0.6 x width. Each elytron with 8 complete striae; 

 strial puncture size = 1 x facet, uniform in size almost to 

 apical third; intervals finely punctate.
