The inner and outer pronotal carinae are equal in width. The marginal groove is abbreviated posteriorly, and it is replaced there by a row of punctures. The elytral setae are well developed. There is a complete row of them on stria IV. The lateral pits of sternum IV are enlarged in both sexes. The punctures of striae III-V are each aligned in one row on each segment. The spur of the middle tibia is curved.
