Morphological Features

Apex of head narrowly rounded; mandibular plates shorter than clypeus, relatively acute apically, lateral margins slightly sinuous, straight to shallowly concave basally, slightly convex anteriorly. Pronotum with anterior margin triconcave, shallowly concave behind eyes, broadly and shallowly concave mesially; anterolateral margins straight or slightly convex, posterolateral margins sinuous, posterior margin straight to slightly concave. Scutellum and exposed portion of coria with punctation similar to that of pronotum; vague pale mesial line usually present on scutellum. Venter stramineous; punctures on head and propleura large, sometimes with green or purple iridescence; iridescence, if present, usually confined to anterior 1/3 to 1/2 of pronotum. Rostrum stramineous, darker toward apex, reaching onto third abdominal sternite. Legs stramineous, maculate, macules somewhat lighter than on thoracic venter, those on superior surface of tibiae larger and darker. Abdomen venter uniform in color, similar to thorax, punctation generally smaller; stridulatory areas and meson of abdomen with relatively few punctures. Seventh sternite of males not excavated posteriorly, reaching end of body and covering pygophore.
