palpi brown. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 2 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching 0.75 to 1.0 distance to anterior 

 angle of eye; vertex puncture size = 0.75 x facets, 

 separated by 2 to 3 diameters; epistome puncture size = 0.5 

 x facet, separated by 1 diameter. Antenna reaching middle 

 of pronotum; antennomere III as long as next 3 antennomere 

 combined; antennomeres IX to XI symmetrical; antennomere X 

 wider than antennomere IX, wider than antennomere XI 

 (similar to Fig. 61) .

 basally rounded, medial angle nearly 90°, lateral angle 

 acute, length = 0.4 x width. Labial palp terminal segment 

 elongate, almost triangular, extended on medial side, 

 rounded base, length = 0.4 x width. Labial palp width = 0.5 

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

 plate triangular, length = 0.75 x width, apical sides 

 straight or outwardly curved, ridge medial extension acute, 

 projecting (similar to Fig. 8a) . 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 0.75 x facet, separated 

 by 2 to 3 diameters; denser laterally, separated by 1 to 2 

 diameters. Scutellum pentagonal, length = 0.5 x width.
