Body in dorsal aspect with marked constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally convex. Rostrum in apical half scabrous, coarsely punctate; in basal half with median and pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows punctate, each with sparse row of erect setae; epistome with transverse, angulate ridge forming distinct median denticle. Pronotum with sides slightly diverging, anterolaterally rounded to subapical constriction; disk with pair of submedian impressions, coarsely punctate, reticulate; each puncture containing inconspicuous seta; with indistinct median ridge. Elytra with humeri swollen, laterally projecting; interval 5 and 6 behind middle swollen, gently projecting from lateral outline; striae indistinct; intervals flat, punctate; at base and apex densely coarsely punctate; transverse band between humeral and subapical swelling less densely punctate. Anteroventral ridge of femora distinct, in meso- and metafemur forming large tooth. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Dorsal edge of tibiae subbasally with angulation, in protibia with blunt tooth, in mesotibia with acute tooth, in metatibia denticulate. Abdominal ventrite 5 flat, coarsely punctate. Penis (Fig. 20b) with sides of body subparallel; apex subtruncate, weakly rounded; transfer apparatus compact; apodemes 2.4 × as long as body; ductus ejaculatorius with bulbus.
