Rostrum dorsally with median carina and pair of lower submedian ridges; intervening furrows each with sparse row of erect scales; epistome indistinct, with weak median denticle. Pronotum with disk densely punctate; interspaces between punctures subglabrous, subequal to punctures´ diameter; median line impunctate. Elytra with striae marked by minute punctures and indistinct hairlines; stria 8 along humerus with seven large punctures; intervals subglabrous, with sparse rows of minute punctures. Femora edentate; anteroventral ridges simple; anterior surface densely coarsely punctate, each puncture with subrecumbent, dorsally erect scale. Metafemur with dorsoposterior edge denticulate; subapically with stridulatory patch. Metatibia ventrally with sparse row of long, stiff setae. Abdominal ventrites 1–2 concave, subglabrous; ventrite 5 weakly concave, almost flat, coarsely punctate. Penis (Fig. 78b) with sides of body diverging; subapically rounded, with short median extension; apodemes 2.1 × as long as body of penis; endophallus with complex sclerites; transfer apparatus complex, largely composed of membranous lobes; ductus ejaculatorius with indistinct bulbus.
