Description

The interocular space is very slightly produced. The antennae are rather longer than the head and thorax, slightly thickened towards the apex. The thorax is broader than long, the sides rounded, nearly straight and parallel behind the middle. The upper surface is transversely convex, excavated on the hinder disc, coarsely and closely punctured, a submarginal vitta on either side piceo-aeneous. The elytra are rather broader than the thorax, parallel, rounded at the apex, the outer margin serrulate. Each elytron has eight regular rows of punctures, the second, fourth, and sixth interspaces moderately costate.
