Clypeal knob and frontal suture absent, in the middle only with a very weak tubercle. Surface densely, in the middle with finer and sparser punctures. Pronotum much (almost twice) broader than long, broadest at posterior angles, latter obtusely angulated, without an emargination. Sides weakly curved, moderately convergent to apex. Basis almost straight, without a border. Punctation of surface distinctly stronger than on head, also in the middle almost as strong and dense as on sides. Scutellum small, triangular. Elytra rather broad, oval, with ten broad striae, punctures in striae broad. Intervals very narrow, much narrower than striae, sharply carinated, unpaired, in apical part shortened. Anterior tibiae tridentate, posterior ones with two very distinct oblique carinae, apical bristles equal. Basal joint of posterior tarsi somewhat longer than upper thorn and about as long as three following joints together. Length: 5-6 mm. - Examined material 15 specimens.
