Elytra with striae marked by rows of small punctures; intervals flat; basal margin bordered by transverse row of deeper punctures; stria 8 along humerus with coarse punctures. Femora edentate. Meso- and metafemur with anteroventral ridge crenate. Metafemur with dorsoposterior edge weakly denticulate; subapically with stridulatory patch. Metaventrite anteriorly at middle with puncture bearing fine pointed brush of setae. Abdominal ventrites 1–2 weakly concave, at middle subglabrous, sublaterally and posteriorly with dense coarse punctures; ventrite 5 flat, coarsely punctate. Penis (Fig. 12b) with sides of body in basal 1/2 diverging, with lateral flanges, subapically converging to subangulate apex, with sparse short setae; apodemes 3.0 × as long as body of penis; transfer apparatus small; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus.
