Upper eye lobes well separated, distance between them equal to twice the width of a lobe. Antennae exceeding elytral apices at antennomere VI. Scape attaining posterior margin of pronotum, slightly longer than antennomere III, antennomeres III–X subequal in length, antennomere XI slightly longer than X. Pronotum finely and uniformly punctate, posterior region laterally depressed. Lateral tubercle acute, projected backwards and slightly upwards. Prosternal process about 1/4 as wide as the procoxal cavity. Mesosternum depressed. Mesosternal process 1/5 as wide as mesocoxal cavity.

Scutellum triangular. Elytra about four times as long as prothorax. Anterior half coarsely, densely punctate. Humeri slightly projected anteriorly and laterally. Apices obliquely truncated, angles strongly produced.

Metatarsomere I 1.3 times longer than II–III together. Apex of urotergite V emarginate; urosternite V with apical margin semicircularly emarginate.

Measurements, in mm. male. n= 1. Total length, 7.70; prothorax length, 1.20; prothorax width at widest point, 2.50; elytral length, 5.60; humeral width, 2.90.
