Head convex, dull, covered with short setae, completely reticulate rugose and granulate; frontal line complete; occipital carina complete; POL = 5; OL = 3; OOL = 5; OPL = 5; TL = 5. Mesoscutum dull, completely granulate and sculptured by numerous irregular keels. Notauli not visible among numerous keels; in few paratypes mesoscutum with slight tracks of notauli. Me- soscutellum shiny, reticulate rugose, with anterior half unsculptured (in specimen from Namibia, 21°55’S 18°11’E, mesoscutellum almost completely smooth, unsculptured).
