 Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, sides 



rounded, lateral angle acute, medial angle nearly 90°, 



length = 0.5 x width. Labial palp terminal segment 



triangular, extended medially, sides rounded, angles nearly 



90°, length = 0.8 x width. Labial palp width = 0.5 x 



maxillary palp width (similar to Fig. 7o) . Mentum with 



plate triangular, length = width, all sides nearly equal in 



length, sides straight; ridge rounded anteriorly, with 



medial extension acute. 



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

 to 2 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 at base and 

 apical half, often obscured by interval punctation; strial 

 puncture size at base = pronotal disc puncture, gradually 

 becoming finer posteriorly; intervals finely punctate, 

 lateral punctures impressed and distinct. 



Prosternum strongly keeled and pinched anteriorly; 

 lacking foveate punctures in front of procoxa; coxal lines 

 straight, length = 0.6 x sternal length, lines surpassing 

 coxae, length = basal width; prosternal plate flat, apical 

 width = 0.75 x basal width; base concave. 



Mesosternum basal width = 2.5 x mesocoxal line length; 

 coxal lines straight; base sinuate. Metasternum coxal lines 

 meeting at middle, punctate, recurved; coxal lines extend 

 0.5 distance to posterior lateral angle; sternum shining,
