Integument reddish to brown; basic vestiture of small, yellowish to brown scales; moderately dense to imbricate, white to pale yellow scales in compound pattern on pronotum, elytra, mesepisternum, metasternum and ventrites ( Figs. 2, 4 View FIGURES 1 – 5 ).

Pronotum 1.04–1.05× longer than wide, sides subparallel in basal half, constricted and tubulate in front, front projected.
