reflexed. Eyes large, oblong, with internal margins distinct. Genae not visible from

above. Dorsal surface smooth under 100 times magnification, distinctly alutaceous and

finely punctate. Antennae 11-segmented including a club with 3 antennomeres, club

length about 12-2/3 size of the eye. Club flat and distinctly separated from funicle and with

a distinctly serrated margin. First club antennomere wider than long, second club

antennomere larger than either first or third club antennomere and about as long as wide.

Terminal club antennomere truncate (Fig. 6-33), setose and about as long as wide.

Antennomere 3 as long or slightly longer than antennomeres 4 and 5 combined.

Pronotum: Strongly convex, lateral margins curved; anterior angle more narrowly

arcuate than posterior. Surface distinctly alutaceous with fine punctation. Scutellum:

Alutaceous and triangular with straight to slightly convex margins. Elytra: Uniform

width narrowing at apical 1/5. Strongly convex, sides slightly sinuous and apices

rounded. Length slightly shorter than combined width (31:38). Uniformly punctate

along dorsal surface, smooth at sides and base with a large impunctate area at apices of

elytra. Appearing alutaceous under 100 times magnification. Median margin and apices

of elytra bordered. Underside: Metasternum alutaceous, roughly punctured, and clothed

in long coarse hairs. Abdominal sternites alutaceous and punctate with long coarse hairs

thinly covering the surface. Legs: Femora glossy, broad, flattened and sparsely covered

with short hairs. Pro- and mesofemora about the same width throughout length. All

tibiae slightly but distinctly curved and dilated towards apex. Protibiae with short hairs

along outer margin. Meso- and metatibiae with long, stiff hairs along outer margin. Four

tarsomeres, claw tarsomere as long or almost as long as 2 tarsomeres preceding it.

Median lobe: Sides parallel or slightly convergent curving into a sharp point (Fig. 6-34).
