Integument: Cranium and thorax castaneous; antenna and mouthparts testaceous, except mandibles brown, capitular antennomeres infuscated; legs mostly testaceous, femora with brown annula at distal limit, basal half of tibiae infuscated; elytra bicolored, black basal margin contiguous with premedial angular fascia, a broad black angular fascia behind elytral middle, remainder of elytral disc testaceous. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform (Fig. 8), capitulum lax, antennomeres 9 and 10 triangular, antennomere 11 ovate; eyes small, frons wide (EW/FW 15/45); last maxillary and labial palpomere subsecuriform.
