of the anterior margin ; surface impunctate, with a transverse 
groove at middle that extends across the entire disc, deeper at the

Scutellum narrowly elongate, black. Elytra broadly subquadrate, 
slightly narrowed at apex, with closely punctured striae, distinct

twice as broad as long, sides rounded, disc 
with a faint transverse groove at sides ; 
black, the base more or less stained with
