Head and pronotum dark brown, head with strong dark khaki to bluish green metallic shine, pronotum dorsally with weak greenish metallic shine. Head slightly transverse, slightly glossy. Compound eye large, nearly holoptic, strongly kidney-shaped, strongly emarginate at anterior, subtruncate at posterior margin in lateral view, not touching antennal insertion, moderately prominent. Minimum interocular distance about 0.9× as wide as maximum length of dorsal eye portion. Head dorsum densely and coarsely punctate posterior to anterior eye margin, less coarse and sparser anteriorly; intervening spaces smooth and glossy. Antenna long, filiform, extending slightly beyond metacoxa; terminal antennomere strongly elongate, about 2.6 mm, asymmetrical, slightly arched, apically pointed, about 5.7× as long as penultimate antennomere and as long as combined length of four preceding antennomeres, surface sparsely microtuberculate. Pronotum trapezoidal, transverse, glossy, flattened dorsally, subtruncate at anterior and posterior margins; maximum width in anterior third and at base, lateral margins converging anteriorly and shallowly emarginated prebasally; anterior and posterior edges not margined; dorsal punctation dense, intervening spaces smooth and glossy.
