Head punctures large, separated by a diameter or less; pronotal punctures smaller than on head, separated by less than twice a diameter; elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by less than 3 times a diameter; prosternal punctures large, separated by less than twice a diameter; mesosternal punctures nearly absent; metasternal punctures large, sparse, confined to anterior and lateral borders; abdomen with punctures on ventrites 1–3 large, separated by less than twice a diameter, punctures on remaining ventrites smaller, separated by about a diameter. Head with frons widened from vertex to clypeus, 1.4 times width of eye measured at vertex; eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere short, widened from base to apex. Pronotum widest at middle, reflexed lateral margin wide, equal in width from base to apex.
