oblongopunctata species-group

Beetles of this rather uniform group are of medium to moderately large size and brown to black; some have aeneous to submetallic elytra in Costa Rica. A diagnostic combination of an oblongopunctata species-group adult includes the following: Labrum flat; male antenna with antennomeres more or less subequal in length (except short pedicel); female antenna with antennomere 8 short, about half the length of 7, and 9–11 somewhat shorter than 3–7; antenna of normal length reaching level of middle coxa, not markedly short and robust, nor long and markedly thin; head behind eyes elongate, evenly rounded posteriorly, more tapered to neck in the male; elytral interneurs each a series of medium to large variously separated punctures; elytral apex obliquely truncated, laterally with a small tooth, suturally obtuse; legs and tarsi normal, not markedly modified; male metasternum sparsely setigerous, abdominal sterna III–V bilaterally setigerous, setae in a patch; females simply sparsely setiferous.
