Pronotum transverse, 1.4 times wider than long at midline, lateral margins elevated, frontal margin projected anteriorly, frontal angles conspicuous, lateral margins slightly convex, posterior angles projected, all carinae well-developed ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 6 – 32 ). Elytra parallel-sided, transverse costae well-developed, regular, elytral areoles slightly transverse ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 33 – 52 ). Phallus slender, parallel-sided, with quite long, slender apex ( Figs. 77–78 View FIGURES 53 – 78 ).
