The pronotum is almost straight at the sides, the anterior margin projecting forward in the middle, the posterior angles angular, rather coarsely punctate. The scutellum is short. The elytra are punctate in the striae (almost in rows), the punctures are coarse. The intervals however, are smooth and sparsely punctate.[3]
