Head entirely impunctate, the clypeus not separated, impunctate, antennae fulvous, thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides rather strongly rounded near the base, narrowed anteriorly, the anterior angles slightly thickened but not produced into a tooth, surface entirely impunctate, opaque, fulvous; seutellum broader than long, its apex rounded, fulvous; elytra not wider at the base than the thorax, without basal depression, moderately strongly punctate-striate anteriorly, more finely so towards the apex, black, the basal margin, and (in one specimen) the apex, fulvous.[5]
