Morphological Features

Body length not specified. Integument dark-brown, with frons and genae dark reddish-brown. Antennal tubercles with sculpture and pubescence as on frons, except for glabrous, smooth area close to apex. Genae 1.2–1.35 times longer than frontal length of lower eye lobes. Distance between upper eye lobes 1.15–1.3 times length of scape; distance between lower eye lobes 0.85–0.9 times length of scape. Antennae 0.7 times elytral length, reaching apex of basal quarter of elytra; antennal formula based on antennomere III: scape = 0.94–1.21. Pronotum finely, densely punctate, with small asperities on anterior half; setae white, decumbent, sparse on anterior half, abundant on posterior half, not obscuring integument. Sides of prothorax finely, densely punctate, with distinct band of white, dense setae close to base. Elytra with basal two-thirds with short, yellowish-brown setae; distal third with wide, transverse, white pubescent band; curved band of white pubescence starting about middle of lateral side, following suture to near apex of basal quarter. Femora with short, whitish setae; metafemora surpassing elytral apex by about one-third of its length. Ventrites with white pubescence on distal half of I–II, and band of dense white pubescence on distal third of III–IV.
