Crown of head very short, nearly eight times as broad as long; face including anteclypeus about as long as broad; juga narrow, elongate reaching to the base of the antennae; genae broad, the outer margins broadly curved; anteclypeus short and broad, about twice as long as its greatest width. Pronotum twice as broad as its median length; the whole surface finely rugulose; anterior margin broadly curved projecting only slightly in front of the posterior-interior angle of the compound eyes, curving imperceptibly into the anterior-lateral margin; posterior margin very shallowly excavated.
