Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescences, concave at middle; PW/PL 85/123; elytra, asetiferous punctures striate, striae extend posteriorly slightly beyond elytron middle; EL/EW 345/60. Abdomen. Aedeagus ( Fig. 22 View Figures 21–24 ), phallobasic lobes short, slightly diverging; phallic plates serrate near apex; phallobasic apodeme present.
