Pronotum longer than basal width, with slight lateral inflation; disk provided with a pair of protuberance behind apical constriction near apical fourth. Elytra ca 2.4 times as long as wide, with 12 rows of foveae associated with recumbent spindle shaped scales which are about 0.25 times as wide as long, 2.5 times as long as the diameter of each fovea.
