Pronotum transverse, 1.43–1.52 times as wide as long. Elytra elongate, subparallel, 1.6 times as long as wide, with polygonal microsculpture. Striae deep and very finely punctate. Intervals slightly convex. Claws with 6 teeth. Abdominal sterna with pubescence. Propleuron strongly rugose, mesepisterna slightly punctate, metepisterna slightly transversely rugose.
