Pronotum coarsely punctate, reticulate, with median costa; with sparse, recumbent scales. Elytra with striae dorsally deeply incised, laterally marked by rows of coarse punctures; intervals dorsally markedly costate, flattened, each with row of partly confluent punctures; each puncture containing small recumbent scale; elytral apex subtruncate. Femora with simple anteroventral ridge. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Abdominal ventrite 5 coarsely punctate, with sparse suberect scales. Penis (Fig. 42b) with sides of body subparallel, before apex weakly converging in straight line; apex with median angulate extension; transfer apparatus with median rod 1.6 × as long as body; median rod projecting basad further than apicad; apodemes 2.9 × as long as body; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus.
