Pronotum with disk coarsely punctate; interspaces between punctures subglabrous, subequal to or smaller than punctures´ diameter; median line weakly costate. Elytra with striae marked by small punctures; each puncture bearing short subrecumbent seta; stria 8 near humerus with six larger punctures, externally bordered by costa; intervals subglabrous. Femora dentate; anteroventral ridges crenate, ending with acute tooth. Metafemur with indistinct posteroventral ridge bearing a second acute tooth; subapically with stridulatory patch. Abdominal ventrites 1–2 concave, subglabrous, microreticulate; ventrite 5 flat, sparsely punctate, microreticulate. Penis (Fig. 79b) with sides of body subparallel; apex subtruncate with subtriangular median extension; behind ostium with pair of elongate endophallic sclerites; apodemes 3.2 × as long as body of penis; transfer apparatus spiniform; ductus ejaculatorius with distinct bulbus.
